Nothing’s By Design

We didn’t ask for this
Hot heads cold hands and feet
Something switched on the light
We woke up and stirred to life
Why

I didn’t plan for this
The death of the life we shared
Two candles lit in a single flame
My light dimmed when yours pulled away
Why

I wonder how I’ll get up
I wonder how I’ll breathe
I wonder what you’re doing
I wonder if you grieve

Oh, You never used to need much
And now you’ve got no need for me

But nothing’s by design
And at least we get to try

My father bringing up
His children in the light
We’d throw the ball around
Before church single’s night

He hid his son from us
And gave us all his shame
And when we’d ask too much
He’d toss the ball away

I wonder how I’ll get up
I wonder how I’ll breathe
I wonder what you’re doing
I wonder if you grieve

Oh, you never used to need much
And now you’ve got no need for me

But nothing’s by design
And I will let it go in time

Drug use

VERSE

Em            G

The narrative

D                                  A

We've heard our whole lives

About how to live

We've been told a lie

The true divider

Public enemy number one

Em       G          D

Don't question it....

RAP (Same chords as verse)

VERSE

Society's ills

Are caused by the drugs

Not that the jobs, have gone to China

Keep your eye on.... the drugs

Anecdotal evidence

The science

Look it up...

RAP

CHORUS/OUTRO

G                 D                 C

Now there's no need to search

                                Em          D

For the causes of crime and poverty

People's own behaviour is at fault

It's not government policy

Not the end, or effect, the beginning

Of all the crime and poverty

No need to change or invest

Or change our government policy

Spend on the cure, not the cause

Transhuman Dreams

Young bodies burn in the heat of the sun
A river wraps into a snake
The scales fall away  
And a generation
Turns with the tides with the wind

With the wind, with the wind

In my transhuman dreams
Forever is tempting
Human meet machine
Forever is tempting  

A natural death and a life well lived
From baby steps, your spreading wings  
Why  do we fear the final destination  
The journey age disease, my legacy  

Legacy, what legacy

In my transhuman dreams
Forever is tempting  
Human meet machine
Forever is tempting

The future looms and blooms
Mechanical bodies
And digital heavens
Uploading our memories  
And natural essence  
Original sin left
Us humans in need of
Some human improvement
Some human improvement
Some human improvement

In my transhuman dreams
Forever is tempting  
Human meet machine
Forever is tempting
