Lab Nights

[Verse 1] Eight years in the lab 'fore the cameras had a hold on me Buildin' robot arms while they partied, that's the whole story Haptics in my hands, precision was the old glory Schools I couldn't afford started buyin' from the factory Torque and control loops, I learned exactly How a system finds its balance when it's actin' unnaturally Same math run my life now, practically Feedback and correction 'til the outcome happen naturally [Chorus, sung] Lab nights, no lights on the block Dreams in the schematic while the city sleep Lab nights, runnin' 'round the clock What I made in silence made the whole world speak [Verse 2] They ask how I saw it comin', I was studyin' machinery When the money went digital it wasn't mystery to me Sound money meet the servo, that was destiny Twenty-eleven I was in it, check the ledger for the pedigree Never chased a trend, I just followed the geometry Straight line from the basement to the top of the treasury Everything legendary started as an oddity The lab was the chapel and the work was the honesty [Bridge, sung soft] And I'd do it all again, all again Same cold room, same old friends All again, all again Where it started's where the story never ends
