[Verse 1] Concrete walls and a flickering screen Feeding on shadows, a ghost in the machine But I found the blueprint, I tore down the gate No more waiting on a stroke of fate I clear out the poison, I sharpen the steel Choosing the habits that make the body real [Pre-Chorus] Unlocking the gates in the folds of the mind Leaving the dust and the static behind Every lesson a brick, every sweat-drop a spark A fire that's burning right out of the dark [Chorus] If you need hope, go build it in yourself! Don't wait for a hand from a shelf! Invest in the blood, the bone, and the brain The power you gather is the power you claim! It's infectious, it's rising, an elegant roar We are the engines of something much more! [Verse 2] Stretching the muscles and learning the code Walking the steep and the beautiful road An asset no panic or market can shake The brightest promises are the ones that we make Crystalline vision, a clinical strike No longer asking what others are like [Pre-Chorus] Unlocking the gates in the folds of the mind Leaving the dust and the static behind Every lesson a brick, every sweat-drop a spark A fire that's burning right out of the dark [Chorus] If you need hope, go build it in yourself! Don't wait for a hand from a shelf! Invest in the blood, the bone, and the brain The power you gather is the power you claim! It's infectious, it's rising, an elegant roar We are the engines of something much more! [Outro] Build it. Boldly. In the skin, in the cell, in the mind. Hope is an engine. Leave the static behind.
