Build and Destroy

I once had this dream to build a machine
So fast it breaks through the sky
Nothing would stop this incredible mess
Something has never been tried
Miscalculations, great expectations
No one believed we could conceive this
Goliath of the dreams that came true
Now here we are, back with the stars
Involving all of our moves
Lost in the sky, return to AI
Tear it down and start all over
Find the path to hope and joy
Are we destined forever
To build and destroy?
Turn off all that feedback in your head
Never mind the stories that ain't said
Today here I am, on the ruins I stand
A wall of you dreamers like me
As you'd suspect, I often reflect
Was that the way it should be
Newspaper said
I was over my head
Tear it down and start all over
Find the path to hope and joy
Are we destined forever
To build and destroy?
To build and destroy
To build and destroy
To build and destroy
To build and destroy
To build and destroy
