Survival Machines (Reprise)

And so we hold tight
To a lone mote of dust in the infinite night
Straining ourselves just to cling to the surface
Our singular purpose to stay side by side
And what does it mean
That they could have used fear or almost anything
But love is lever they've chosen to move us
To shape and improve us
To keep our lives evergreen?

Does that make us survival machines
Connected like mother and child
Each needing the other to thrive
It's all or it's none that survive
