lyrics

Floundering in the primordial ooze
Devoid of all intention, a twinkle in the atmosphere’s eyes
Self-replication tools, sharpened by the eons
Augmented by violence
Forms diverge and gorge on earth
Clamoring for sex, enamored with the sensation
That transmits intransigence
Cuz hardening the species is advantageous (yeah)

Chorus

Oh, what an appetite
This fury has survived and we are its cataclysmic coincidence
Then the question swarms
Am I just a vessel for these genes
To progenate (Genes, genes, genes)
Who postulates why?
I am not defined by my particles
I am not inscribed with the carnage code
I am not defined by my parts
But on the contrary, my parts are defined by me

Successive change, eclectic stings
Of nature as she sentences maladapted to their deathbeds
A myriad of beasts contend
Emerging from the chaos once group stands erect
Self-awareness and reason gleam
Technology results in an evolutionary stasis
But is lust for mastery a relic from out biological basements? (yeah)

(Chorus)

Am I just a marionette for my genetic makeup?
I tried to bury the debt with epistemic quakes but
I could never fully denounce all these predetorial urges
There so urgent that I’m ready to pounce
I got high hopes for my zygotes
But my existence transcends all mechanistic demands
Programmed inside those codes that I pass to my offspring
Look at my arm, feel a kinship when I glance at the moth’s wing

(Chorus)
