Have you lost your sense of sustainability?
F Eb Bb Bb

F Eb Bb Bb
But we've got to break out from this insulated blind and lame senility
Verse(2) played like Verse(1)
Laurels, human triumph bestowments from the past
Victories don't mean a thing if they don't last
We are just marching towards extinction with blinders on our eyes
Jeopardizing everything we've learned and come to realize
You call that wise?

You can live in staunch denial and mark me as your enemy
But I'm just a voice amongst the throng who want a brighter destiny
