A human force, stronger than logic
Beyond the focus and the grander ideas
One microcosmos in this wretched piece of hell
Distant memories of what empathy we felt
No revolution in what they must overthrow
In on a secret we all know
The need that is our enemy

I don't ever want to see you, doing all the same things as me
Don't ever let this be you, knowing what it is that drives me

It's all in the future, said with one foot in the grave
All in the plan of what we never could achieve
No satisfaction
We excuse ourselves from progress
By post-altering our motives, stories set to match
Whatever beat that drives the impulse, whatever tune that carries through
What's in a soul that rattles empty, in this reality too few
Our reach is never wider than the depth of what we grasp
A vicious curse on all that we partake in/side the conflict
Where no one is the wiser
A space invaded – A face invaded – My space invaded
Selfish doesn't begin to cover the sense in this utopia
Of one to escape the arguments to put another filter on
