Who We Are

Before you found your life,
they took it away.
There is no higher price
that anyone could ever pay.
At the dawn,
another day,
you had no way to know
what would come your way.
But who are we
when violence enslaves us?
Who are we anyway?
Who are we, but the lucky ones?
Wish you didn't have to go,
but it was your time.
And we will never know
why you couldn't say goodbye.
But who are we
when violence enslaves us?
Who are we anyway?
Who are we, but the lucky ones?
Now I stand here in line
waiting for my turn.
And I don't mind
if it helps the world to learn
Who we are
Who we are
Who we are.

Dopamine
On dopamine
On dopamine
On dope
We have been overrun by our animal desire
Addicts of the immediate keep us obedient and unaware
Feeding this mutation, this Pavlovian despair
We've become
Disillusioned
So we run
Towards anything glimmering
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around
Find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique
Voice among the many
In this choir
Tuning
Into each other
Lift all higher
Dopamine
On dopamine
On dopamine
On dope
Willingly been re-wired by clever agents within
Looping our reflections, our obsessions draw us in
Fix and fixation, no sentience beyond
We've become
Disillusioned
So we dive like crows
Towards anything glittering
Time to put the silicon obsession down
Take a look around
Find a way in the silence
Lie supine away with your back to the ground
Dis- and re-connect to the resonance now
You were never an island
Unique
Voice among the many
In this choir
Tuning
Into each other
Lift all higher
