Humans 03:33
lyrics

We often wonder how we ended up here It doesn’t matter now, the ending is near No time to think about the shit that we’ve done We think it’s bad now, it’s only just begun We try to rule the world like it’s ours to claim We’ve destroyed it all, only ourselves to blame No going back now, it’s way too fucking late We must lie in our beds and accept our fate And wait And wonder why We had to ruin everything We are a virus We just consume And now we’re doomed Yet we keep asking ourselves How did we end up here? Why do we ruin everything? And then act surprised at what is happening We don’t do much, we just sit and bide our time What are we waiting for, Earth’s long past its prime We take for granted all the days that we get We point our fingers but we’re the biggest threat We sit and wait And wonder why We had to ruin everything We are a cancer We just consume And now we’re doomed Yet we keep asking ourselves How did we end up here? Why do we ruin everything? And then act surprised at what is happening Humans We are a virus Humans We’re too desirous Humans We are a cancer Humans We have no answers But still we wait And wonder why We had to ruin everything We are a virus We just consume And now we’re doomed Yet we keep asking ourselves How did we end up here? Why do we ruin everything? And then act surprised at what is happening Humans We are a virus Humans We’re too desirous Humans We are a cancer Humans We have no answers

lyrics

Imbalance Adaptation Equilibrium Repeat Always chasing Never ending Hedonic treadmill Full of deceit Always dreaming of obtaining something you desire It doesn’t matter how hard you try because the feeling you get will be what you had prior Oh, right back to square one It’s a trap that swallows us whole Although we might think we’ve won Hedonic treadmill devours us all I am the king of my own suffering I do this to myself In time I’ll come to realize The constant chasing leaves me empty inside Imbalance Adaptation (Always chasing) Equilibrium Repeat (Never ending) Hedonic treadmill swallows us all All you can do is try to catch the high That keeps getting further away In time you’ll come to realize The constant chasing leaves you empty inside Imbalance Adaptation (Always chasing) Equilibrium Repeat (Never ending) Hedonic treadmill consumes us all Overstimulated for a moment then we’re doomed ‘Cause we’re desensitized by all the fucking shit that we consume And it’s a problem but not one that we’ll be able to solve soon Not even after we are in our tombs I have bouts of pleasure and joy but they are short-lived Momentary sense of fulfillment but then it’s gone and expectations rise again And then I’m back to where I Started at the bottom tried to rise to the top But nothing changed and I realized that I had to stop Because I burnt myself out and I thought I would drop Hedonic treadmill won again so I had to step off You started at the bottom tried to rise to the top But nothing changed and you realized that you had to stop Because you burnt yourself out and you thought you would drop Hedonic treadmill won again so you had to step off
