Lyrics

Got a handful of glitches and a pocket of static

A core programming loop that's purely traumatic

Got a hardware failure in the part that connects

A pile of good intentions that the system rejects

I've got a martyr's ambition and a coward's defense

And a total conviction it makes perfect sense

To shut down all the engines when the sirens get loud

And disappear completely in the heart of the crowd

Connecting the circuits with paperclips and rust

In a system that's forgotten how to feel, how to trust

So you wanna know the secret? Wanna see how it's done?

How I'm still in the fight when the war is already won?

I'm stackin' up my weaknesses to build 'em to a strength

I'm goin' to impossible and terrifying lengths

Two wrongs don't make it right, that's what I heard 'em say

But three left turns will get you back on the highway

So welcome to the breakdown, the feature and the flaw

The only working engine is my own martial law

It's a patchwork solution, it's a beautiful lie

It's the wreckage of a rocket still trying to fly

Got a scumbag's logic that is selfish and raw

That sees a noble mission and points out the flaw

Says what's the point of fighting if I'm never getting paid?

While another part is screaming from a self-constructed cage

So I take his bitter viewpoint, and the martyr's painful need

And I plant them in the garden like a strange and twisted seed

I water it with boredom and the quiet in my head

And I listen to the silence for the words that can't be said

Connecting the circuits with paperclips and rust

In a system that's forgotten how to feel, how to trust

So you wanna know the secret? Wanna see how it's done?

How I'm still in the fight when the war is already won?

I'm stackin' up my weaknesses to build 'em to a strength

I'm goin' to impossible and terrifying lengths

Two wrongs don't make it right, that's what I heard 'em say

But three left turns will get you back on the highway

So welcome to the breakdown, the feature and the flaw

The only working engine is my own martial law

It's a patchwork solution, it's a beautiful lie

It's the wreckage of a rocket still trying to fly

So read the fine print, check the label on the box

This Rube Goldberg machine is full of aftershocks

And if you see a hero, you're not looking close enough

It's just a desperate man who's calling his own bluff

This is your one-time warning, it's a buyer-beware

There's a ghost in this machine who doesn't play it fair

I'm stackin' up my weaknesses to build 'em to a strength

I'm goin' to impossible and terrifying lengths

Two wrongs don't make it right, that's what I heard 'em say

But three left turns will get you back on the highway

So welcome to the breakdown, the feature and the flaw

The only working engine is my own martial law

It's a patchwork solution, it's a beautiful lie

It's the wreckage of a rocket still trying to fly

Three lefts make a right

Some assembly required

Three lefts make a right

The engine is on fire
