[Verse 1]
We are all comatose
We are overfed and under
Undernourished
Yearning for something more
Never starving
Yet never quite satisfied
Carnal but without
Useful flesh or mind

[Refrain]
I am a walking contradiction
That's found consistency
Consuming everything
All without producing sustenance

[Verse 2]
In the parallels, we struggle
Struggle to upkeep
There is a better way
For us to be set free
From all it is we crave
There must be more to life
Than to simply stay alive
To simply stay alive
