lyrics

Engulfed by the wreckage my past has created,
I'm thrilled by the invitation to meet my end
A slow dance with destiny, I'm being persuaded
Welcome enigma, I've got two ways to win again

Not a step, take a fall in the right direction
Even gravity can't hold me down
I am the catalyst of reclamation
My objectivity is leaving me now

Some call me a demon, others a machine
I won't persist after my own defeat
You might think that at my core I am broken
I've just locked up every word that was spoken

Has our nobility blinded us?
Our actions tread between honor and foolishness
Time was always on our side
Now the second hand turns to reveal a diminishing life

I know I'm supposed to know what to do right now
There's never been a problem I couldn't solve
You know asking has never been my strong suit
Just know that I will never relinquish you

Are you willing to give it all,
To undergo the only instance of emotion I could ever show?
If seven years is all I have, I won't sit back and wait
A machine won't seal my fate.

I could give you 40,000 reasons why I know
This light is not the light of a star
I will not let humanity become enslaved
By the oppression of this artificial war

We will never be panderers, but wanderers
Straight forward and reckless 'til the bitter end
So many journeys, yet one destination
I'll be the one to help us all transcend

Before this ends, we'll find out
Which one of us is the person and which is the machine

Are you willing to give it all,
To undergo the only instance of emotion I could ever show?
If seven years is all I have, I won't sit back and wait
A machine won't seal my fate.

I hope you know now that I won't recover from this
My mind is replicating, ripping away the only parts of me I have left
Our strength was a luminous sun. Our hope was a relentless flame.
If my rampancy can save you now, I won't mind thinking myself to death

Are you willing to give it all,
To undergo the only instance of emotion I could ever show?
If seven years is all I have, I won't sit back and wait
A machine won't seal my fate.
