Enhancing Enigma
Alchemist · Other Songs - Alchemist
Limited to materialistic boundaries
Repeating the process of learning
As previous knowledge dissolved long ago
Bewildered by totems in nature
We quest universe reflection
But when mind potentialities exhaust
The answers remain untapped
Homosapiens terrorize one another
Conforming like drones
Homosapiens, molesters of nature
Homosapiens, parasites of the earth
Concepts of existence astonish
Reality resides within myself
Significance is questionable
We're less to the universe than amoeba to the oceans
A mass of molecules and atoms, united to host my consciousness
Ending in physical erosion, repeating the cyclic process
Is this concept mirrored within my self?
