What will you find as you blindly grind
The gears of your invention to a halt?
What better way to know the places you won't go
Than recognizing where we haven't been?
Finding our faults lie, that none can answer why
We ever moved from where we began
[Outro]
Still standing still
Bent to your will
Flawed like you
