From the smallest cell to the greatest scar This relentless virus has travelled far Sustained by an eagerness to learn Our collective ignorance will make us burn These wandering creatures now breed to unend Hold claim to a fate we know is pretend Weak as a feather, we break one by one Truth will consume until we're all gone Without a struggle we cannot evolve No fearsome threat to test our resolve Unfold into slumber, sedated and weak Broken by musings of which we don't speak Simple souls seek an outward assailant Greater minds know we'll fall from within Slowly we fly, higher and higher We'll implode long before the sun burns our wings Am I cursed with eyes that see Should I swim in the blinded sea Is my pain unfounded or just Can we change or just turn to dust Our minds are frayed Worn by all this unrest Our hearts betrayed Scorn by men who know best I'll wear this guilt like a scar on my chest Simple souls seek an outward assailant Greater minds know we'll fall from within Slowly we fly, higher and higher We'll implode long before the sun burns our wings We kill ourselves trying to hide the pain We burn our souls trying to find our way The world we've made is slowly killing us We are malignant We are cancerous It's abundantly clear for all to see We hold on too tight to our Icarus plea We've molded hell from this floating sphere You won't find any justice here Is it wrong to want us to fail To see us sink beneath this blue veil Is it wrong to want us to be gone Am I the only one singing our Swan song We have proven we're not worthy We have shown that we're not true Oh mother bring all your might and fury Rip us from this dot, pale and blue We kill ourselves trying to hide the pain We burn our souls trying to find our way The world we've made is slowly killing us We are malignant We are cancerous
