Real impact.

[Verse 1 – Screamed] Family PC, second-hand and humming Eight years old and something started running Didn't know the word for it, just knew the pull Took the spark to Vienna and I fed it full Lecture halls to live servers, legal tech to finance Learned the hard way, learned it twice, took every chance Ten years in the trenches and the fire never dimmed Still opening new docs at midnight like a kid [Pre-Chorus – Screamed] They said burn or be forgotten Grind until there's nothing left of you I said watch me — I'll go further, and I'll still be here when you're through [Chorus – Clean Vocals] Bring me what you're building I'll meet you at the line Ten years deep inside the fire And I still love the climb So let's make something Worth the hours that it takes Let's build it right — let's build it right [Verse 2 – Screamed] 2018, took the leap without a net Co-founded the thing, and we shipped it, no regrets Built the whole spine of it — the API, the load Scaled it up from nothing in a language made of code Distributed, integrated, mobile, on the wire Name the layer, I have stood inside that fire But the part I'm proudest of was never in the stack It's the people that I built it with, and every one came back [Pre-Chorus – Screamed] Clean code, clean hands No heroes, no alone Every line I leave behind Is something you can own [Chorus – Clean Vocals] Bring me what you're building I'll meet you at the line Ten years deep inside the fire And I still love the climb So let's make something Worth the hours that it takes Let's build it right — let's build it right [Bridge – Clean, half-time, ambient] Six o'clock, I close the lid There's a small hand waiting and a story to be read The best thing I ever made Doesn't compile [Bridge – Screamed, building] So keep your all-night martyrdom Keep the sleepless, hollow crown I'll be sharper in the morning While you're grinding yourself down Guitar in the evening, controller in my hand Laughing at my own bad jokes That's the man who builds your systems That's the man who keeps his word [Final Chorus – Clean, layered] Bring me what you're building I'll meet you at the line Ten years deep inside the fire And I still love the climb So let's make something Worth the hours that it takes Let's build it right — let's build it right [Outro – Clean, quiet, into full band] Vienna in the window Coffee going cold Tell me what you're dreaming of And let's go build it now
