Life Cycle 04:24
Eight hours a day Five days a week Fifty weeks a year For sixty years of your life We live such brief lives We waste so much time working Eight hours a day Five days a week Fifty weeks a year For sixty years of your life We live such brief lives We waste so much time working Forced to sell our time / just to survive While we’re on the clock / we watch our lives slip by How much time do you spend / doing what you love? How much time do you spend / trying to pay your bills? We live such brief lives We waste so much time working What’s the point of existence If all you do is exist? What’s the point of living If you never get to live?

Origins 05:20
We share a common / cosmic inception We’re made of the remains / of a stellar explosion If you want answers / about life’s origin Look to the stars / not to religion We are the product / of a billion year Lineage of / wondering stardust We’re not only in / the universe The universe is / inside of us If you want answers / about life’s origin Look to the stars / not to religion All of the elements / on the earth All of the atoms / inside of us Were forged inside / the burning core Of a star that died / billions of years ago Forged in the center / of high mass stars That grew unstable / at the end of their life Exploded and scattered / across the cosmos Then coalesced to form / new planets and stars If you want answers / about life’s origin Look to the stars / not to religion We are the children / of the stars Their lifecycle / is the same as ours We are born / mature and die Our matter is recycled / in future lives Carbon Oxygen Hydrogen Nitrogen Phosphorus Calcium Sulfur Potassium
3.
It’s in our nature / to believe that our Purpose is higher / than all other creatures No life force / enters at birth To live inside us / and exit at death No creator / grants ensoulment We’ve created / our own importance There’s no great purpose / to our lives We’re only born / to breed and die No god creates us / in his image We’ve created / our own importance
4.
Defeated 03:56
We’ve been Defeated / before we’ve tried By systems / that control our lives The deck is stacked / the game is rigged We have lost / before we begin Defeated Defeated The deck is stacked / the game is rigged We have lost / before we begin Defeated Defeated Born into A system that’s designed To stymie our success All of our life Defeated before we begin Defeated before we begin Defeated before we begin Defeated before we begin
