Exogenesis Lyrics

We used to move unmeasured
When the future was never in question
Before every breath became pressure
And every thought
a survival calculation

I asked for guidance
Where do we go from here?
You answered with no remorse and no mercy
You said 'leave and look elsewhere'

Why am I human?
And how did I get here?

Do you remember a night sky that used to shine?
In silent darkness away from the watchful eyes
When stars were more than mere satellites
You chose black and soulless screens
Over your own beautiful sky

Somewhere along the way
We took two steps forward
And ten thousand back
How could we know better
Than to fight what we fear
And say it's only survival instinct

Welcome to reality
Your algorithmic tyranny
Oh yes, and all you can do is act accordingly
It's kill or be killed
If your life depends on it
At least it makes us human
Take it as a threat

Oh and here we go again
When the beating drum begins
In the fog of war the truth is always lost
And never learn the lesson
But if it's all the same to you
I'd like for you to pay attention
Cause if history taught us one thing
It's that no-one wins

If we don't all
If we don't all
If we don't all win

If we don't all
If we don't all
If we don't all give
