For the hundred billion
who came before us
who forged civilisation
For the eight billion
alive now
who shape its destiny
For the trillions
still to come
whose very existence
teeters on a knife-edge
You're suspended
in a light beam
To transcend it
you gotta lose your self
You're suspended
in a light beam
To transcend it
you gotta lose your self
You think you know
exactly how
this will play out
You think you know
exactly how
this will go
You say we're a disease
but you're confusing
the afflicted
for the affliction itself
You can't see
the wood for the trees
They open wide and devour
Be self made
and celebrated
or single-handedly
suffocated
the individual
with no power
They open wide and devour
Fly solo lone ranger
Trust no one sole trader
The individual
with no power
They open wide and devour
You're suspended
in a light beam
To transcend it
you gotta lose your self
You're suspended
in a light beam
To transcend it
you gotta lose your self
Yeah
Open wide and devour
Be self made
and infected
off-grid disconnected
the individual
with no power
They open wide and devour
Walk alone isolated
bootstraps intoxicated
The individual
with no power
They open wide and devour
Yeah
They open wide and devour
Ah
They open wide and devour
You're suspended
in a light beam
To transcend it
you gotta lose your self
You're suspended
in a light beam
To transcend it
you gotta lose your self
