Matt Ford - The Human Delusion Lyrics

So loud our voice
No time to listen
So eager to lead
So easy to lead into submission
So proud we claim to be strong
So soon we need to belong
Employing tactics of intimidation
All in the name of self-validation
Shallow and transparent
Craving approval from others
All of us, frightened children
Crying out for our mothers
So sure of ourselves
So quick to cling to others
So quick to lash out
So quick to run for cover
Wallowing in distraction
Sharing self-satisfaction
Waiting for your reaction
The human delusion
So quick to cry out in pain
So quick to inflict for personal gain
So quick to take a moral stand
Always willing to kill on command
Imaginary friends
Imaginary foes
What's the f*cking point?
Nobody knows
Meditating on our condition
Elevating to pole position
Falling prey to superstition
The human delusion
Apex predator?
No spine of which to speak
Apex predator?
Truly the evolutionary peak
Apex predator?
Destined to self destruct
Apex predator?
Well and truly...
Everyone has a breaking point
Just gotta push hard enough
Everyone's hanging by a thread
Just gotta pull hard enough
And if I really wanted to
I could so easily crush you
If I really wanted to
I could destroy you
If I really wanted to
Believe
In anything
Just to belong
To something
