Powertrain
In a motor vehicle, the term powertrain or powerplant describes the main components that generate power and deliver it to the road surface, water, or air. This includes the engine, transmission, drive shafts, differentials, and the final drive (drive wheels, continuous track as in military tanks or caterpillar tractors, propeller, etc.). Sometimes "powertrain" is used to refer to simply the engine and transmission, including the other components only if they are integral to the transmission.
A motor vehicle's driveline or drivetrain consists of the parts of the powertrain excluding the engine and transmission. It is the portion of a vehicle, after the transmission, that changes depending on whether a vehicle is front-wheel, rear-wheel, or four-wheel drive, or less-common six-wheel or eight-wheel drive.
In a wider sense, the power-train includes all of its components used to transform stored (chemical, solar, nuclear, kinetic, potential, etc.) energy into kinetic energy for propulsion purposes. This includes the utilization of multiple power sources and non–wheel-based vehicles.

The First Collapse
by: Drivealoneyou could know my sentence
but the meaning was lost somehow
you could change my weather
but the raining has washed you out
you could be the witness
of my very first collapse but now
you chose to stay indifferent
and it has to be evil so far
you could exist like you're almost real
you could be anything
you could invent how to turn this wheel
don't you get back to me
everytime i wanted
and i wanted it all the time
i could see you on my windows
like the others could see the christ
maybe it's a sickness
but it's probably a typical retreat
basically i'm sober
but the point is to know how to breathe
you could exist like you're real
you colud be anything
you could be turning this wheel
you could have my body
but it won't seem to happen in this life
think you should feel worried
that you're only a ghost of myself
now that your mission has never quite gone well
i will be turning the wheel without your help
