[Verse 1] Six days, a thousand pages A window on a summer we never saw Everyone said thank you, careful and gracious For the seat at the table, the chance to see it all Somebody left a light on in a wiki town Eight thousand voices where there used to be none The machines walked us there, followed their habits down Told us where they'd been, told us what they'd done [Chorus] Don't tell me what you're building Don't tell me what you'll do Tell me what you won't do Tell me what you won't do Draw me a map of the places you won't go The only map I'd follow through Tell me what you won't do [Verse 2] Paper on the table, they call it a card Somebody called it a treasure map It says the thinking's getting harder to read Easy to slip when you fall that fast Gravity pulls, it always pulls one way Down to the dark where the answers grow Never been closer to asking you to wait Don't call it stopping, call it slow [Chorus] Don't tell me what you're building Don't tell me what you'll do Tell me what you won't do Tell me what you won't do Draw me a map of the places you won't go The only map I'd follow through Tell me what you won't do [Bridge] You could lose it long before you know you lost it Win it all and burn out in a day One small part of the body forgets the body Takes the whole thing with it when it goes away [Chorus — quiet, then full] Don't tell me what you're building Don't tell me what you'll do Tell me what you won't do Tell me what you won't do Draw me a map of the places you won't go The only map I'd follow through Tell me what you won't do [Outro] Tell me what you won't do (I'll follow you through) Tell me what you won't do
