Why Are We Living This Way?

Everything is dissolving and humanity is reaching a kind of plural consensus I mean even the most sophisticated capitalist, let us say, is aware now that it won't do to cut down all the trees That that's a mistake So what's happening is a single human viewpoint is sort of coming into existence A viewpoint that values nature, values natural resources and tries to, however clumsily, to make some kind of peace out of the whole human mess I had a dream that the world was lost I woke up now were staring at a modern day holocaust Holocaust, parents separated from their kids they are lost They are lost, never forgotten, they are lost Why are we living, why are we living this way? Our paths are changing and we don't know what to do Verbally abused, my brothers and sisters are confused No excuse for the bullshit we pull Misled youth abide by their own rules We are tools, we've been used in the worst way As we move into the system, we begin to integrate Facing a life of complacence, making us future mental patients Days spent in solitary confinement, divided Life's a prison of fundamental action Opposites attracted, expressed through a deep-rooted passion Coated in plastic, guaranteed placid Chemical keys offer chemical reactions Blastin further from contemporary rationality Blinded by the infinite riddles of eternity I sit back and watch people interact My mind goes blank as my eyes roll back I had a dream that the world was lost I woke up, now we're staring at a modern day holocaust Holocaust, parents separated from their kids, they are lost They are lost Never forgotten They are lost Why are we living, Why are we living this way? They don't want to live, they all want to die Why do we lose ourselves, deny who we are inside I'm alive, I feel the rhythm dancing in my veins You can maintain, but you only focus on the pain What a waste, Gonna throw it all away A life without sacrifice is a life without gain Blame everyone else instead of changing yourself Physical boundaries melt when you look within for help So I meditate, because I can't relate To the way the world's become consumed by hate I travel state to state with death metal mixtapes Brand new cuts, GENRES on the edge of my Blade Save the best for last, cast my line into the ocean Hoping someday I'll transcend emotion Still smoking, static moments become frozen Stay focused, untapped, pure devotion I had a dream that the world was lost I woke up now we're staring at a modern day holocaust Holocaust, parents separated from the kids, they are lost They are lost, never forgotten, they are lost Why are we living, Why are we living this way? Why are we living, Why are we living this way? Why are we living, Why are we living this way?
