inside
we
all want to know how things are wired
so sure we'll find the truth if we desire
try to unscrew everything
and take it all apart
conceit that fills our heads belies our hearts
machine
or man, the future's hard to tell
life's a product that we'll buy and sell
altered genes and smart vaccines
will cure
our human traits
common sense is coming, but it's late
how
to define what a life is?
how do we know what to live is?
why believe there's a perfect mold?
if
we ask, we can't fear the answer
the truth can eat us like cancer
we can't prepare for what we'll be told...
when
we search for what's inside
nature
clutches secrets in her fist
evolution cuffs us at the wrist
try to shortcut everything
and see beyond the stars
we fly too high to see to we've gone too far
how
to define what a life is?
how do we know what to live is?
why believe there's a perfect mold?
if
we ask, we can't fear the answer
the truth can eat us like cancer
we can't prepare for what we'll be told...
when
we search for what's inside
science
is the art of crossing lines
discovery and risk are intertwined
try to unscrew everything
and take it all apart
anything that frees us is a start
