Protohuman (feat. Tyler Tate)

We were born from fire
Now we're all just begging to be seen
Endless voices screaming
Lost in the noise and these empty dreams

Flesh and bone
Reduced to nothing but slaves
And now we're crawling backwards
Back down into our caves

We're sinking deeper with every breath (every breath)
Chasing shadows, we're bound to regress (bound to regress)
We've lost our way, can we ever escape?
Trapped in this prison we helped to create (we helped to create)
We will ever learn our lesson?

Protohuman, will you bow down to the herd?
Have you ever spoke the truth
Or do you repeat the lies that you've learned?

Protohuman, vacant eyes
Built to serve, programmed to die
Proto-human, forged to comply
We sell our souls, but we don't know why

Rotted minds and addicted veins
Dumbed down, we stay shackled by the hate
Beasts losing the ability to think
All thoughts erased
We traded pride for worthless praise

Strip the skin, there's nothing left
We're just empty husks gasping for breath

We were once made gods
But now we are closer to swine
Circling the drain to suffer
So smothered, burden of humanity
Once crowned with fire
Now we're drowning in the mud
We have traded wisdom
This system, burden of humanity

Protohuman, will you bow down to the herd?
Have you ever spoke the truth
Or do you repeat the lies that you've learned?

Protohuman, vacant eyes
Built to serve, programmed to die
We sell our souls, but we don't know why
