Man is born into an empty void Staring into the consuming black We are nothing A glitch in this malfunctioned system We are hollow Of no significance Yet we seek answers In this spiral Of self-contempt The way paved forward Is altered by past crimes Emptiness defines us Silent observers From a safe distance Caused by our insufficient composure To make the hard decisions As the world crumbles beneath us The greatest hardships Are caused by our very existence The most magnificent of flaws In this malfunctioned system The punishment will be unforgiving We are easily swept away Scorched of the surface Caused by our insufficient composure To make the hard decisions As the world crumbles beneath us The greatest hardships Are caused by our very existence Our history scoured Erradicated from this soil We are hollow Of no significance Yet we seek answers In this spiral Of self-contempt We are nothing A glitch in this malfunctioned system Reverse-engineer the planet To fulfill our needs Greed cuts deep Into our defining character At the very core There's only hunger In our current state of mind Raised with ill intent Nothingness Defines the perfect life
