Shattered Faith

The scientist purported that there ain't no purpose
 And the theologian told me that it's all been designed
 And I'm trying to maintain objectivity
 The world won't illuminate what really matters
 And I'm an imperfect mortal meaning extractor
 Processing the complexity
 Born of the earth (are we blind?)
 We weren't given a choice (there's no way)
 What about free will? (What we have)
 Do we have a voice? (Is shattered faith)
 See them run in place (here and now)
 In the human rat race (no reward)
 So much dead weight (no debate)
 To our disgrace (just shattered faith)
 Life begins when you accept your fate
 ♪
 Paralysis from forces raging out of control
 Until my confidence and will are at an all-time low, whoa
 Just directionless wandering
 Eternal life, eternal truth, eternal secrets
 Isolated hopes and hypotheses just
 Leave me feeling so hungry
 Born of the earth (are we blind?)
 We weren't given a choice (there's no way)
 What about free will? (What we have)
 Do we have a voice? (Is shattered faith)
 See them run in place (here and now)
 In the human rat race (no reward)
 So much dead weight (no debate)
 To our disgrace (just shattered faith)
 Life begins when you accept your fate
 ♪
 Right or wrong, the main criterion is what you do, and not what you say
 The roads you take, the friends you make, and those you throw away
 The method is a simple synthesis of the past and present state
 You never lose if the path you choose is one you can easily navigate
 I had a dream
 Light and carefree
 But now there's doubt
 And gravity
 But I won't run in place (are we blind?)
 In the human rat race (no, there's no way)
 I can set the pace (what we have)
 And accept my fate (is shattered faith)
 Shattered faith (here and now)
 Shattered faith (no reward)
 The part of me (no debate)
 I can't erase (just shattered faith)
