The framework of the world, is black and white
The infrastructure builders, flex their might
Turning true emotion into digital expression
One by one we all fall down

The perpetual destructive motion machine
Began to chart a course never before seen
Turning raw compassion into fields of plus and minus
One by one we all give in

I'd swear there were times, when I was someone else
A person with determination and knowledge of the self
But you flattened me to rubble and now I can see 
That I'm just a faded negative of the image I used to be

(faster)
And that’s our dilemma!
