And I'm trying to maintain objectivity

    Dm             A#           F          C
The world won't illuminate what really matters

Do we have a voice? (is shattered faith)

See them run in place (here and now)

                 A#
In the human rat race (no reward)

So much dead weight (no debate)

to our disgrace (accept your fate)

Eternal life, eternal truth, eternal secrets

Dm       A#          F        C
Isolated hopes and hypotheses just

A#                  C
Leave me feeling so hungry

Do we have a voice? (is shattered faith)

See them run in place (here and now)

In the human rat race (no reward)
