Survival Machines

Nature red
In tooth and claw
Forgive us our fatal flaws

Count your sins
And clench your fists
But your veins have built a prison

Bound by skin
And broken limbs
We break the shell we're hiding in

We are more than our bodies
We are more than we've become
We are more than our bodies
We are immaterial

These scars won't sever our ties
Because this flesh is just a disguise
Though breathless lungs and blinded eyes
May leave us slaves to the design

And when all we're worth
Is swallowed by a hungry earth
Our fears will drown in the ocean's thirst
And the stars will cradle our rebirth

We are more than our bodies
We are more than we've become
We are more than our bodies
We are immaterial

And when nothing's left
We will break the bonds of flesh

Soon the weave these sinews spun
Will melt into the sun
This won't last forever
This won't last forever

When all is said and done
Who will speak for everyone?
This won't last forever
This won't last forever

We are more than our bodies
We are more than we've become
We are more than our bodies
We are immaterial

This won't last forever
