Lyrics

Engineers

All that we are

Is all that we need to be

All that we know

Is you and machinery

We're engineers

We are your heartbeat

We are your night life

We are your low-line

We keep you alive for now

We're engineers

We are your voice

We are your blood flow

We are your eyes

We're all you need to know

We're engineers

All that we are

Is all that you'd love to be

All that we know

Is hate and machinery

We're engineers
