[Verse 1] One belt in, one belt out, the rhythm never breaks I told myself one more hour — that was three days late Iron in my veins and copper in my teeth I built a god of gears and it swallowed me [Pre-Chorus] And it whispers through the wires Feed me more, feed the fire [Chorus] The factory must grow, the factory must grow I don't sleep, I don't eat, I just let it flow Every belt a vein and every furnace glows The factory must grow — and I can't let go [Verse 2] Biters at the walls and the power's running low Spaghetti on the ground where the order used to go Trains like arteries, the map a beating heart I tore my life apart to keep it whole — [Breakdown] GROW! (grow!) GROW! (grow!) FEED THE MACHINE! (machine!) MORE! (more!) MORE! (more!) IT'S ALL I'VE EVER SEEN! [Bridge] Maybe I built a cage of conveyor lines To outrun every quiet in my mind The factory hums the song I know by heart I don't remember who I was at the start [Final Chorus] The factory must grow, the factory must grow I don't sleep, I don't eat, I just let it flow Every belt a vein and every furnace glows The factory must grow — and I can't let go
