What the Trite and Banal Say
[RACHAEL]
Someday soon, I'll crumble
Someday soon, I'll fall
My sanity, I see now, will not hold for very long
I hear the song of madness playing in my head
And someday they will come, and they will drag me back again
[MASCOT 3000]
Someday all your burdens will set down for a rest
And sit with me in comfort, perhaps in happiness
Till then, just know the signal that you hear is real and true
A frequency that few could ‒ someone's broadcasting for you
Someone's broadcasting for you
[RACHAEL]
Someday love will find a way
Is it foolish for to pray
That what the trite and banal say
Love will find you, too, one day
Someday, when the sorrow fades
Past the heavy, weeping weight
There will finally be a day
All your burdens fall away
And someday, past the days of dread
Past the scars and tethered threads
You will rise up on that day
Somehow love will find a way, and
[RACHAEL & MASCOT 3000]
Someday love
[MASCOT 3000]
A thin breath away, the smoke drifts on up
With all that you hold, and all that you're told
And all that you love
The signal is not far
We could find it if we go
An old abandoned factory Arcadia Corp. once owned
If you want, then we could go now, together, you and I
Away in just a thin breath, and leave this world behind
[RACHAEL]
Someday love will find a way
Past the heavy, weeping weight
There will fin'lly be a day
When all your burdens fall away
Someday, past the paths you've strayed
The betrayals and dismay
Past the long and jaded way
We will rise up on that day
And someday love will find a way
All who fall will rise again
All the broken will be saved
Someday love will find a way, and
[RACHAEL & MASCOT 3000]
Someday love
One day, one call
Will find us all
[MASCOT 3000]
A thin breath away, and all that you knew
For granted, or learned, will suddenly turn
And never was true
[CONNOR]
I see that you have found me
That means, then, that you must be
Hearing the song only one could, so
After all these years then, your lover's song has worked then
And there is much, my dear, that you must know
Machines not touched for years, now, must be started, and while
That is done, that console over there
Just plug your Mascot in and it will play events that
Though long ago, it's vital that you hear
[MASCOT 3000]
