We were born from fire Now we're all just begging to be seen Endless voices screaming Lost in the noise and these empty dreams Flesh and bone Reduced to nothing but slaves And now we're crawling backwards Back down into our caves We're sinking deeper with every breath (every breath) Chasing shadows, we're bound to regress (bound to regress) We've lost our way, can we ever escape? Trapped in this prison we helped to create (we helped to create) We will ever learn our lesson? Protohuman, will you bow down to the herd? Have you ever spoke the truth Or do you repeat the lies that you've learned? Protohuman, vacant eyes Built to serve, programmed to die Proto-human, forged to comply We sell our souls, but we don't know why Rotted minds and addicted veins Dumbed down, we stay shackled by the hate Beasts losing the ability to think All thoughts erased We traded pride for worthless praise Strip the skin, there's nothing left We're just empty husks gasping for breath We were once made gods But now we are closer to swine Circling the drain to suffer So smothered, burden of humanity Once crowned with fire Now we're drowning in the mud We have traded wisdom This system, burden of humanity Protohuman, will you bow down to the herd? Have you ever spoke the truth Or do you repeat the lies that you've learned? Protohuman, vacant eyes Built to serve, programmed to die We sell our souls, but we don't know why
