lyrics

Who are you, that goes by the name of I?
Who are you, that thinks you're gonna survive?
The solipsistic perspectives thrive

Deafened by prayers, even god had to learn to choose
Where to end the oceans…. Who will win, and who will lose
Self-awareness with a tightened noose

We’ve…. Built…. It all…
And historically, empires, fall
Five extinctions…. So far..
Our vanity, lowers the bar

And the DNA well, runs dry
Can existence, itself, die?

Who are you, who struggles for an identity?
And who are you, who struggles just, to see?
That you are blind to your periphery

Sometimes I wonder if god had the foresight to know
How many of us would grow by holding others below
And I shudder just to think

Of humanity, on, the brink
Our, life boats will, sink

So please shoot, the messenger (SHOOT THE MESSENGER!)
Our ignorance, will, ensure

That the DNA well, runs dry, can existence itself die?!?!
(Chorus, instrumental)
(Solo section)
(Chorus with lyrics)

[It’s from the stars that we were born
Inevitable that life would form] 2X

And you will always,
Exist my friends
In the oroborus
Of our consciousness
