Camera Obscura

If pushing towards the event horizon
 Then you'd leave it all so soon
 We were a caricature, a monolith
 A wave under the moon
 If I was desperate, I could
 If it was simple, I would
 The pressure is extraordinary
 Can't wait to make it through
 Recycled lives
 Is that all we're supposed to be?
 Imagine living by a novel's lie
 For a deity waiting on the other side
 A kinder world yields spirituality
 A culture of abusing life
 Based upon someone else's eyes
 A narrative that dilutes through centuries
 A narrative that's selling souls for free
 We're barreling and torpedoing
 Through a land that needs us soon
 A leap of faith, a subtle play
 A hole under the moon
 If I could do it, I would
 No one to stop it, I could
 We're destined as an empty vessel
 Don't wait to make it true
 Recycled lives
 Is that all we're supposed to be?
 Imagine living by a novel's lie
 For a deity waiting on the other side
 A kinder world yields spirituality
 A culture of abusing life
 Based upon someone else's eyes
 A narrative that dilutes through centuries
 A narrative that's selling souls for free
 No life's worth living
 Passing poison
 No lies worth seeing
 The locust swarms are gathered around
 No prize worth dying
 I'm unsubscribing
 From a labor undervalued
 Insurgency is in the wind
 The wind
