Tell me, when the planet was formed Was it easy to believe there was more Were we learning to expand and explore Did we weather the storm? Or get lost in the dust of disturbance and cloud Caught in the force of the shadow of doubt Feel the helix alive, feel it inside So tell me how to lose the regret The glass sits more than half empty yet Salvation in one last cigarette I might want to forget Or get lost in the rush of distraction and lust Take one little step To the end where you must Everything depends on a moment of trust Come and be seen And you're saved from the dust So come now and let's settle the debt It's a wager I don't want to accept I'll keep looking, maybe this is a test To get up from the sloth and face what I see In for the kill that is coming for me All it feeds on is pleasure All it values is crass It's depraved beyond measure But it's top of the class Every God is a letdown All heroes are false So there ends the lesson It's a hell of a course
