Instinct

A consciousness trapped behind eyes
Surveying everything until it dies
Unified by commonplace
A failed attempt at a saving grace
Salt the earth so that nothing grows
Watch it starve until it’s skin and bones
Plant an empire; watch it blot out the sun
Plant a seed and watch it blossom
The same species that broke my heart
Is the very same species that touched the stars
From humble beginnings we built our homes
Generations of wisdom inside of our bones
A universe is within our grasp
We hold miracles in the palm of our hands
A consciousness, blessed with hope
Given a chance to have a go
Read and learn, try and do
Break and mend to make something new
Write a letter, make a sound
Change how the Earth goes around
You can change the world just by using a computer
Anything can happen cause we live in the future
From humble beginnings we built our homes
Generations of wisdom inside of our bones
A universe is within our grasp
We hold miracles in the palm of our hands
From humble beginnings we built our homes
Generations of wisdom inside of our bones
A universe is within our grasp
We hold miracles in the palm of our hands
