Wish - The Human Condition (feat. WISH) Lyrics

You're born into a world without much of a say
You lose your innocence a little every day
Then you grow into your role a predator or prey
And first you stumble, then you finally find your way

It's the human, human condition
Welcome to the masquerade
You can't see through your blind ambition
It's the final price that we all pay

So consumed with power and an instinct to control
The wealth you gather up will never fill your soul
The hole inside your heart grows deeper every day
You can't take it with you and you can't escape your fate

It's the human, human condition
Your temporary place in time
In the end your life only matters to the ones you leave behind

You tell yourself you'll always have forever
As you treat your life like it's a foolish game
On the day you find your life's a book of empty pages
You'll be looking at the mirror at the only one to blame
For your human condition

It's the human, human condition
Welcome to the masquerade
You can't see through your blind ambition
The final cross that we all pay
It's the human, human condition
Your temporary place in time
In the end your life only matters to the ones you leave behind
