** Lyrics **

When you come to realise
How deep these fractures are
The artificial greater good
Will not stand in the light of truth

I still want to believe
That we have the means
To heal our wounded minds
How much damage was done
While wondering alone?
When maybe the answers
Could be in the unborn's heart?

You may search for identity
But a lack of meaning creeples from within
You feel special like everyone does
The soulless preacher is almost done

I still want to believe
That we have purpose
Above what's in our minds
How many chances were lost
Just chasing applause?
When maybe the answers
Could be in the unborn's heart?

So you're saying
We are all here just by chance
Like stardust grains slipping through
A pointless hourglass

Unperson me now
And they shall remain unheard
Unperson me now
And they'll be soon gone away

Don't rush to win
A race to the bottom
Of a sealed box
We are happy indeed
Even in total denial
Untill the very moment
Right before the fall

We are already burning
Before even learning how to fly
But I am free
I am germ-free

We are already sinking
Before the ship has even sailed
But I can see
I can clearly see
