Closer to an Animal |
I am a man |
You fell down from that apple tree |
The other day with me |
We had already forgotten |
We one day crawled up from the sea |
Imagine now |
If we one day could build a flying contraption |
And see the world |
What if we could somehow |
Store knowledge in a cloud |
Draw a smiley face on the moon |
Find the meaning of life |
Riding the crest of our time |
With bravado, soon complete |
Will we see a new one rise behind us |
A new chance, a new world |
Our wave |
It’s about to break |
And we’re about to dive |
In the void, it echoes our fall |
Our paean to avarice |
I think we’re closer to an animal |
Every day, till we fall… |
Can you believe |
We have all those eyes high in the sky |
And we can now see the world |
One thing truly makes me blind, the wisdom of hindsight |
The eye in my own hand |
Riding the crest of our time |
With bravado, soon complete |
Will we see a new one rise behind us |
A new chance, a new world |
I think I’m closer to an animal |
Every day, till I fall |
If you want it all, you can have it all |
But greed raises oceans too |
When the glacier of our broken dreams |
Melts in your champagne glass |
Someone knocks on your door |
Four times… |
Sand in your hour glass |
Every grain is a day |
Falling, finding it’s rightful place |
If you want it all, you can have it all |
But greed raises oceans too |
When the glacier of your broken dream |
Melts in your champagne glass |
Do we need it all, we can have it all |
Our greed will raise oceans soon |
And the glacier of our human dream |
Gone with the champagne glass in the sea |
Back in the sea… |
Back in the sea… |
I am a man |
In the grand scheme of things |
Only minutes have passed |
Since I crawled up from the sea |
But already, I’ve built a flying contraption |
And seen the world |
I’ve drawn a smiley face on the moon |
And stored knowledge in a cloud… |
What a wonderful gift our mind is |
But why am I using it to destroy this beautiful planet… |
My only home |
If it defines me |
If it makes me a human |
I need to get |
Closer to my inner animal |
