Lyrics
The human mind is a fragile thing
A tangled mess of instinct and doctrine
Haunted by the truth of insignificance
I know you need to be loved, and I know you just want to belong
I hope we all find peace before we die
Because love is scarce in this world
With life overflowing, expendable
Pledge allegiance to the tribe
Climb the ranks and pray
That you don't get eaten alive
The web you weave is a fragile thing
A clusterfuck of ego and symbols
Threatened by the things you don't understand
I know you are quick to hate ‘cause I know you just want to belong
Few things give us meaning like enemies
Likewise, peace is scarce in this world
With life overflowing, disposable
No room at the table for us all
Climb the ranks with pride but don't kid yourself
We're pack animals
Though I’m judging you, do what you have to do
I'll do the same
We crave meaning in a cruel universe
Sanity's a fragile thing
When the walls close in we won't be of kin
Morals cannot tame the will to survive or be recognized
Civility's a fragile thing
Though I’m judging you, do what you have to do
We crave meaning in a cruel universe
When the walls close in we won't be of kin
We'll plunge into chaos—competition!
Our illusions are fragile things
