lyrics
what am I without this?
I welcome you to the grand parade
where things aren't as they seem
here's some philosophy for free
man cannot live as an identity alone
but he defines his reality through acts of inhumanity
to bleed out all the rest
defined by his own hand, the idle god that walks the land
it's the curse of those who live and breathe and die
to ask the question last and never live to wonder why am I here?
is that an answer for me, or a warning for you?
the more I dig, the more I find as I cut
the bleeding heart of man, that beats without
and without me, because I am more than can be defined by the tongue of a penitent man and the curses he leaves behind
The educated answer to the few
is that I am not a man any more than my body's a corpse
one day you'll bury me, in a grave fit for bones
but the answer to the masses is just
leave me alone
I welcome you to the grand parade
where things aren't as they seem
here's some philosophy for free
man cannot live as an identity alone
but he defines his reality through acts of inhumanity
to bleed out all the rest
defined by his own hand, the idle god that walks the land
it's the curse of those who live and breathe and die
to ask the question last and never live to wonder why am I here?
is that an answer for me, or a warning for you?
the more I dig, the more I find as I cut
the bleeding heart of man, that beats without
and without me, because I am more than can be defined by the tongue of a penitent man and the curses he leaves behind
The educated answer to the few
is that I am not a man any more than my body's a corpse
one day you'll bury me, in a grave fit for bones
but the answer to the masses is just
leave me alone
