lyrics

Abstaining the hive mind

Evolution manifests a unified consciousness,
a mechanism required for survival.
Creatures of many sizes share these traits…
We are merely slaves to serve the queen

To nourish the colony,(to nourish)
we must forage the earth…(we forage)
Scour the dirt…
We carry our find
back to the hive;
sustaining the mind,
enslaving our kind.
enduring this endless search,
our dreams forgotten
we scavenge to find our worth.


the movement of mountains
and expansive tunnels
possible without unsynchronized
struggles

Search to Augment
Your find is our find
is her find.
we bow to sustain
the needs and the cause of
the hive mind.

yours is our time
so carry the find
as good as blind
for all but our mind

As we're fixed to the clouds we see(fixed to clouds we see)
Our dreams become sunspots(dreams become sunspots)
Pushed aside by our duty as robots

as we move in single file,
protected by our exoskeletons….
our minds create
questions of worth.
are we living or being lived?

live or being lived(live or be lived)

So now we march, in our own directions.
We must dethrone the queen
Creatures of many sizes share these traits…
We are but slaves to serve……..
ourselves.

Rise!
