The Moral Implications of a Deterministic Universe feat. The Onceler (Laplace’s Angel 2024 Edit) (feat. The Onceler) Will Wood

[Verse 1]
Have you ever died in a nightmare?
Woke up surprised you hadn’t earned your fate?
Have you ever felt like Atlas, threw your back out on the axis
And collapsed and threw the planet away?
Everyone’s just blood in an ice tray
A vampire picking flowers out in the sun
Run your diagnostic tests, its posited nobody dies agnostic
But we still dial 9-1-1
Now we’re singing

[Chorus 1]
Ooh, could you take a look at me? (It’s the norm for animals, it’s the norm for chemicals)
Am I bad, am I bad, am I bad, am I really that bad? (It’s the norm for particles, eye for eye for tooth)
And now we're singing
Ooh, whatever you think of me (It’s the norm for chemicals, it’s the norm for particles)
If you were in my shoes, you’d walk the same damn miles I do (Yes, it’s only natural)

[Verse 2]
We’re only tuning to the tone of the bell curve now
Ask not for whom it tolls
But with my head up in the clouds, I can see so much ground
And from up here you look like ants in a row
It doesn’t take a killer to murder
It only takes a reason to kill
We’ve all got evidence of innocence, it’s "everything’s coincidence"
The difference twixt fate and free will
Is whether you’re singing
