[Verse 1]
The scientist purported that there ain't no purpose
And the theologian told me that it's all been designed
And I'm tryna maintain objectivity
The world won't illuminate what really matters
And I'm an imperfect mortal meaning extractor
Processin' the complexity
[Chorus]
Born of the Earth (Are we blind?)
We weren't given a choice (There's no way)
What about free will? (What we have)
Do we have a voice? (Is shattered faith)
See them run in place (Here and now)
In the human rat race (No reward)
So much dead weight (No debate)
To our disgrace (Just shattered faith)
Life begins when you accept your fate
[Verse 2]
Paralysis from forces ragin' outta control
Until my confidence and will are at an all-time low, woah
Just directionless wandering
Eternal life, eternal truth, eternal secrets
Isolated hopes and hypotheses just
Leave you feelin' so hungry
[Chorus]
Born of the Earth (Are we blind?)
We weren't given a choice (There's no way)
What about free will? (What we have)
Do we have a voice? (Is shattered faith)
See them run in place (Here and now)
In the human rat race (No reward)
So much dead weight (No debate)
To our disgrace (Just shattered faith)
Life begins when you accept your fate
[Bridge]
Right or wrong, the main criterion
Is what ya you, and not what you say
The roads you take, the friends you make
And those you throw away
The method is a simple synthesis
Of the past and present state
You never lose if the path you choose
Is one you can easily navigate
[Outro]
I had a dream, light and carefree
But now there's doubt and gravity
But I won't run in place (Are we blind?)
In the human rat race (There's no way)
I can set the pace (What we have)
And accept my fate (Is shattered faith)
Shattered faith (Here and now)
Shattered faith (No reward)
The part of me (No debate)
I can't erase (Just shattered faith)
