Means to an End

Idealise what is bringing you down
Trapped in this routine
Trapped in stability
If I have nothing at all to say in my inadequacy
I’ll recline and resign, failures in me
Everything we do here is just a means to an end
It took a while to lose the illusion that we were more than just men
Everything we do is a futile attempt
The wheels of industry won’t fill the cavity
Instinctively there’s a dread that we all share
And a burden we must bear
Prioritise, throw ambition aside
Serve your family
Ditch the community
If I have nothing at all to say in my inadequacy
I’ll recline and resign, failures in me
Everything we do here is just a means to an end
It took a while to lose the illusion that we were more than just men
Everything we do is a futile attempt
The wheels of industry won’t fill the cavity
Instinctively there’s a dread that we all share
A dread that we all share
Why would you die for something you don’t believe in?
And a life that you regret, a life that you regret
Why would you die for something you don’t believe?
I can feel the divine, it’s in my head
Why would you die for something you don’t believe?
It took a while to lose the illusion that we were more than just men
Everything we do is a futile attempt
The wheels of industry won’t fill the cavity
Instinctively there’s a dread that we all share
