LOSE YOUR SELF

For the 100 billion who came before us

Who forged civilisation;

For the 8 billion alive now

Who shape its destiny;

For the trillions still to come

Whose very existence teeters on a knife-edge…

You’re suspended in a light beam

To transcend it you gotta lose your self

You think you know exactly how this will play out

You think you know exactly how this will go

You say “we’re a disease”

But you’re confusing the afflicted for the affliction itself

Zoom out, zoom out

You can’t see the wood for the trees

They open wide and devour

Be self made

And celebrated

Or single handedly

Suffocated

The individual with no power

They open wide and devour

Fly solo

Lone Ranger

Trust no one

Sole trader

The individual with no power

They open wide and devour

You’re suspended in a light beam

To transcend it you gotta lose your self

Be self made

And infected

Off-grid

Disconnected

The individual with no power

They open wide and devour

Walk alone

Isolated

Bootstraps

Intoxicated

The individual with no power

They open wide and devour

You’re suspended in a light beam

To transcend it you gotta lose your self
