Lyrics

This Too Shall Pass

All the needless things
The serfs toil for the kings
And no one knows if what we call the soul
Is worth mentioning

Some new technology
To make our lives complete
And if you?ve lost your will, just take a pill
And go to sleep

And I have a contention to state
Every breakthrough that we ever make
Is just as likely a mistake

It happened too fast for it to last
This too shall pass
Losing the fight with sleepless nights
Can?t seem to fathom how everything will be alright

Chemicals are processing
The axons are firing
But if that is all it means to be a human being
Then don?t let me sing

And I have a confession to make
I don?t always bend before I break
And I guess I have lost my faith

It happened too fast for it to last
This too shall pass
By divine light or human insight
Just because it feels nice doesn?t make it right

It happened too fast for it to last
This too shall pass
Losing the fight with sleepless nights
Can?t seem to fathom how everything will be alright
It happened too fast for it to last
This too shall pass
By divine light or human insight
Just because it feels nice doesn?t make it right
