BOILERMAKER
Micah Sommersmith

Plate metal gotta pound you down
Steel piping gotta bring you around now
Acetylene gonna cut you out
Arc welder gonna pull you together

Me and the metal and we’re always alone
And I don’t know how long I can take it
Every spark I can feel in my bones
Am I the boiler or the boilermaker?

Love every hiss and I love every purr
I love the metal and I love the machinery
As if my body were a part of the earth
As if anything could ever complete me

Me and the metal we’re together for life
Forgotten scraps, we are lost and forsaken
Welded together by the power of fire
I am the boiler and the boilermaker

Me and the metal we’re together for life
Forgotten scraps, we are lost and forsaken
Welded together by the power of fire
I am the boiler and the boilermaker
