I had a dream we never existed
Particles of dust, dissolved
I had a dream I saw the world
Before it was made
Everything was silent
Nothing to save

No decisions in life or death
No vacant souls to sacrifice at the end
I could see it collapse
Before it ever began to break and crack

Created by a hand
Left to be destroyed
Are we all victims of torture
Or victims of choice?
A life built on ruins
And piles of innocent
How the fuck do we live like this?

I refuse to let
The sky be my grave
The Sun collides with the Earth
So tell me who's to blame
We're all sculpted from dirt
Without a blank slate
We've been designed to fail
It was always our fate

Can we compromise?
Kill every thought of a conscious mind
Let it decompose as we grow

A light that won't shine on me
In the afterlife
The thorn in my side
Were we even meant to survive?
To know is to die

I had a dream we never existed

How the fuck do we live like this?
A cruel punishment to feel like we belong
When we'll barely be missed
No one to mourn the loss
How the fuck do we live like this?

No decisions in life or death
No vacant souls to sacrifice at the end
I could see it collapse
Before it ever began to break

Can we compromise?
Kill every thought of a conscious mind
Let it decompose as we grow

A light that won't shine
Only in the afterlife
The thorn in my side
Were we even meant to survive?
To know is to die

A light that won't shine
Were we even meant to survive?
A light that won't shine
To know is to die, to know is to die
