this is a song about me. i promise it isn't egotistical. but everyone has to have some level of ego, right? i tried to keep it to a minimum. peace, love, and pride, @antisocialmoth
[RAP 1] Cog-thought mind with a wrench in the frame Steam in my lungs, I reforge every name Brass gears on the wall, rust-red in the hall Every snapped little sprocket? I rework it all Hands in the pistons, soot on my skin If it stalls in the lab, I just wind it again Nighty-night to doubt, rest in pieces, it dies— Every fractured invention just fuels my rise [RAP 2] My reflection in brass got a lag in its gaze Like a ghost in the gears from a past mislaid Mixed up memory, ticking off-beat Every fault in the system now bends to my feat Kickstart the core when the pressure erupts If it don’t run smooth, I recalibrate guts Hidden valves in the walls, secrets under the floor— You ignore the design, I go diggin’ for more [PRE-CHORUS] You keep talkin’ like I’m built to break Like I jam, like I stall, like I can’t take weight Go ahead, keep crankin’, I don’t snap, I combust— You don’t break what’s reforged outta iron and dust [CHORUS] Fuel to the fire, keep feedin’ the flame Every spark that you strike just engraves my name Turnin’ pressure to power, every scar to a spark— Now I light every engine you left in the dark Fuel to the fire, let the boilers scream Every hit addin’ heat to the grand machine You were lockin’ the gate, I was meltin’ it off— System override, and I’m ready to pop [RAP 3] I don’t fit in your mold, I dismantle design Every cog outta place, I make perfectly mine Not a copy, not a clone, I distort what I’m in— I’m the steam in the system you can’t box in Wings made of wire, I don’t butterfly I just rise with the smoke as the pressure climbs high Chasin’ signals through fog where the secrets cling— While you hide from the dark, I map everything [RAP 4] Hear the automata march in the back of my head Every path that they walked is a path that I thread Brass-lined corridors hum late at night— You hear fear in the clanks, I convert it to sight Hidden patterns in the hiss of the pipes Every valve got a story from mechanical life You hear ghosts, I hear systems align— Every haunting’s a blueprint I can redesign [RAP 5] You were throwin’ them shots, I was meltin’ ‘em down Turned doubt into steel, now I wear it like a crown Rest in pieces to the form that you made— I rebuilt from the scrap, now I’m self-upgrade I don’t snap, I reshape, every flaw to a gain Every crack in the frame just relieves the strain By the time that you notice, I’m already refined— While you stuck in one state, I’m ahead of the grind [RAP 6] Blueprint brain, every thought engineered Every flaw that you found got repurposed right here My reflection don’t blink, it just studies the breaks— Every puppet you dropped is a move that it makes Mixed up memory ain’t damage, it’s sight Every glitch in my gears just be sharpenin’ light You call it chaos, I call it design— I don’t lose what I am… I refine [RAP 7] Now it’s all comin’ loose, every limit undone Every rule that you wrote gets outrun by the run Nighty-night to control, let it rust, let it fade— I was built in the dark, now I am what you made No brakes in the engine, no pause in the grind Every gear interlocked in the depths of my mind Every memory I grip turnin’ solid and clear— You were runnin’ from shadows, I engineered fear [RAP 8] Say what you want, I don’t answer, I build Every silence I keep just be loadin’ the field Then it hits all at once when I finally release— Now the hush of the forge is the loudest of beasts I see what you hide, I decode what you fear Every mask got a crack, every lie interferes You were waitin’ for failure—I sharpened instead— Now I walk through the smoke like it’s already dead [DOUBLE CHORUS] Fuel to the fire, keep feedin’ the flame Every spark that you strike just engraves my name Turnin’ pressure to power, every scar to a spark— Now I light every engine you left in the dark Fuel to the fire, let the boilers scream Every hit addin’ heat to the grand machine You were lockin’ the gate, I was meltin’ it off— System override, and I’m ready to pop Fuel to the fire, keep feedin’ the flame Every spark that you strike just engraves my name Turnin’ pressure to power, every scar to a spark— Now I light every engine you left in the dark Fuel to the fire, let the boilers scream Every hit addin’ heat to the grand machine You were lockin’ the gate, I was meltin’ it off— System override, and I’m ready to pop
