lyrics

We think therefore we are/Well maybe that's taking it a step too far to assume that anyone other than me can think or let alone blink in attempts to keep up to par/To hold up their end of this deal that we've agreed to by existing/we are all aware/Our sixth sense of self compels us to try and be seen as individuals/Mindless of residual/Our selfish ways so beautiful/pitiful/they’re miscible/This life is not worth living/When we're taking while we're giving/So give up on lust/And give in to love/Don’t support the ideals that we are all slaves of/This life is not worth living/When we're taking while we're giving/In one way or another our end goal is the same/It’s self gain and I'm afraid that it's inevitable/When even our most selfless acts will try to find a way to give us something to take away/because selflessness is reputable/And as much as I hate that fact it's beautiful/It’s pitiful/they’re miscible/
