lyrics

You were the one who never had to learn
You were the one who always had
You were the one to always inflict the burn
Desperate for fun that you never had

Now stretch the moment here
Before it's all destroyed
Refine sensations
As outsiders claimed we've toyed
With fragile versions of ourselves
We have employed
To hide the shame that our intelligence
Belies irrelevance

You were the one who never had to earn
You were the one who always had
You were the one who felt you missed your turn
Desperate for meaning that you never had

Our intelligence belies our irrelevance

These dreams, delusions that we will into existence
It use to matter when we spoke about resistance
Only this punishment secured with your persistence
Don't think it matters at all
Don't think we matter at all
You'd hope that life would add some value to existence
Delusions manifest as hope within resistance
This bitter end will come no matter your persistence
Don't think this matters at all
Do these thoughts matter at all?

Now stretch the moment here
Before it's all destroyed
Refine sensations
As outsiders claimed we've toyed
With fragile versions of ourselves
We have employed
To hide the shame that our intelligence
Betrayed us all

You disappear
As the years they now do turn you into stone
And bind your hands
You live in fear of the fear that will return
As you descend
The conceit of man

You were the one who never had to learn
You were the one who always had
You were the one, upon a world that soon will burn
Now we become...
