Life Cycle

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

Our Own Importance
04:48
|
|
||
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

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
