Momentum
FGFC820 Lyrics

The world sags beneath our weight
Our selfishness and greed is a burden on the planet, causing it to suffer.

Parasites, we suck it dry
We take advantage of the earth's resources, consuming them without regard for the consequences.

Like rats lost in a maze
We are aimless in our pursuits, often trapped in cycles of destructive behavior.

Stupid creatures born to die
Our mortality is a reminder of our insignificance, and how little time we have to make a positive impact on the world.

There is no destiny
Our lives are not predetermined, but rather shaped by our own choices and actions.

No higher hand of fate
There is no divine intervention or preordained future guiding our path in life.

No place in history
In the grand scheme of things, our individual lives will likely be forgotten and insignificant.

Just eternity to waste
Without a greater purpose, our existence can feel meaningless and time seems to pass without purpose.

We collide
Our lives intersect with others in both positive and negative ways.

Then break away
But eventually, those connections come to an end.

Our lives
The time we have on earth.

Are just momentum
Our actions and choices set us on a path, and it can be difficult to change course once we are in motion.

We attract
There are certain people and experiences that draw us in, for better or for worse.

Because we can't
Sometimes our desires and impulses overpower our logic and reason.

Turn back
Once we have committed to a course of action, it can be difficult or impossible to reverse its effects.

It's all for nothing
The futility of our actions can be disheartening, making us question the purpose of it all.

Search for meaning from above
We often seek guidance and validation from external sources, such as religion or spirituality.

Assemble random events
We try to make sense of the chaotic and unpredictable nature of life by creating narratives and explanations for our experiences.

To support the myth of life
In the face of the harsh realities of existence, we cling to comforting beliefs and stories to give purpose to our lives.

We turn our backs on reason
At times, we ignore logic and rationality in favor of our emotions and biases.

Deny our inevitable ends
We often refuse to acknowledge or accept our own death and mortality.

Narcissistic hypocrites
We can be self-absorbed and hypocritical in our behavior, failing to live up to our ideals.

It's our last defense
But sometimes we need to believe in ourselves and our abilities, especially in the face of adversity, in order to persevere.
