He watches alone
In this room lit by a screen
Faith in what he's told
His lifeline, his everything
This is his guide
Tells him what he wants to hear
Just living this life
Overwhelms him with fear
These are fantasies
Meant to give him meaning
Preying on his vanity
To keep him believing

What does it mean to lose it all
Who will catch us when we fall
And who will

Tell us that the future's bright
And give a purpose to this life
Should we settle for less
And cut out all the rest
Commodifying mass unhappiness

These empires built
Brick by brick with suffering
Thousands like him
Laying down their offering
Where will he go
When there's nothing left to say
Will this be the end
Or can he walk away

Tell us that the future's bright
And give a purpose to this life
Should we settle for less
And cut out all the rest
Commodifying mass unhappiness
We're living hand to mouth
Seeking answers for our doubts
While we're still breathing
Searching for meaning
No matter how indirect the route

Before this life is done
Once more we circle the sun
Find where we put down roots
Nourish the seeds to bear fruit
The soil is fertile and still
Nothing can grow until
Fitting conditions are met
And then the stage is set

Tell us that the future's bright
And give a purpose to this life
Should we settle for less
And cut out all the rest
Commodifying mass unhappiness
We're living hand to mouth
Seeking answers for our doubts
While we're still breathing
Searching for meaning
No matter how indirect the route
