[Verse 1] In the lab where the beakers glow, I measure the world I want to know. With a pipette and a steady hand, I trace the lines of a promised land. [Pre-Chorus] The data flows like a silent stream, I hold my breath and follow the beam. One small spark in a white coat sleeve, I keep the shape of what I believe. [Chorus] I measure the world I want to know I measure the world I want to know I keep it close, I let it show I measure the world I want to know [Verse 2] Late on the glass, the numbers shine, I read the proof in the braided lines. If the answer bends, I bend with it too, Till the quiet truth comes clear to you. [Pre-Chorus] The data flows like a silent stream, I hold my breath and follow the beam. One small spark in a white coat sleeve, I keep the shape of what I believe. [Chorus] I measure the world I want to know I measure the world I want to know I keep it close, I let it show I measure the world I want to know [Bridge] And if the night turns cold and long, I mark my doubts and carry on. No wasted motion, no empty vow, Just one more answer, here and now. [Chorus] I measure the world I want to know I measure the world I want to know I keep it close, I let it show I measure the world I want to know [Outro] In the lab where the beakers glow, I measure the world I want to know. And when the final numbers fall, I'll still be standing through it all.
