Building the Machine

Who's hero will I be
Martyr on the scene
Just principles esteemed
A path there's to complete
Who's hero will I be
Martyred on the scene
For the sake of sanity yeah
And my contentious integrity

Dust it settles, where will I be
When the dust settles, who will I be
Since I've created, this machine
As the dust settles, who will I be
Ohhh ohh oh yeah
Ohhh ohh woe woe yeah

Achieving greatness
Means enduring pain
Arriving not as easy
As it seems
People you love, you hurt
You hurt along the way
Drastic change
At enormous cost to me
Always pushing, pushing
These boundaries
Of hearts and souls
On this battlefield

Is it fucking worth it all
I ask the universe
To make the call

If you could have it
Would you want it
With all your being
Would you want it all
With all your being
Is it worth it
Is it worth the fall
Is it worth the fall

To sell your soul
For the deal of it all
It's what you are
Can't concede
Lest you die
Lay dying on your dreams
Never knowing what you'd be

The need to create this machine
What does it mean
On the trail of a dream
We're building piece by piece
Building this machine
We're building this machine

Why does it have to feel
Like a crime being
Who you are
Do we have to stop
Growing, changing
What we are
Why does it have to feel
Like a crime
If you go too far

Who's hero will I be
Martyr on the scene
Just principles esteemed
A path there's to complete
Who's hero will I be
Martyred on the scene
For the sake of sanity yeah
And my contentious integrity
Sake of sanity

Dust it settles, where will I be
When the dust settles, who will I be
Since I've created, this machine
Since I've created, this machine
Is the path your showing me
Where I need to be
Where I need to be

You know I can do this
But the fucking pain is killing me
Fucking pain is killing all of we
You know we can do this
Building this machine
We can do this
Building this machine
Building, building the machine
