lyrics

Two amoebas at the crossroads
Waiting for a human being
One of them was a skeptic
But the other he believed
The first one said “lets go to bed
I don’t see why we wait
`Everything you attribute to them
I put down to fate
No one’s ever seen them
Or their footprints in the sand
No one’s ever heard one speak or
Witnessed one first hand”

“When I close my eyes I hear beautiful music
That seems to come from another plane
When I’m alone I feel a presence that I cannot explain
When I look out on our drop of water
I feel there must be something more
When I think about my life ending it just seems like
Walking through another door”

“I’m aware of your hallucinations but I am not to blame
You think me unenlightened but I think you’re just lame
The wishful thinking of the ignorant and blind
The warning signs of a species in decline
One-celled organisms shouldn’t waste their time”

“I see cities reaching for the sky in my dreams”
“You are just a machine”
“I hear spirits whispering in mountain streams”
“You are just a machine”
“I hear ancient children’s laughter echoing down through time”
“You are just a machine”
“Everywhere I look I see eternity”
“You are just a machine”
