Elephant - The Extinction Paradox lyrics

What little have we learned from this perfect accident? Everything makes sense and everything is real Who am I? Who was I? Who will I become? Existence in extremis as the rim of this plane melts Who can say what is impossible? Who will be by my side? Should the victim forgive or curse them all? Is living that simple? Who knows but the dead? What is the fulcrum, what is the lever, and where do I stand? A shiver in the basement then the falling of birth Running, accelerating, scattering, progressing The capacity of memory without stricture or cause A creator who rested after the foundation was finished I am just another sparrow pa**ing through the stream Of an obscure continent moving through the heavens The day is late and this will be my final sunset Crushed between the membranes of opposing times The lovers behind the net considering the dance and the silence Through heroism and adventure I've arrived at myself Snap the bonds of paradox and swallow the wheels of fate Sequence shifts and the only truth is the present There is one world, there are many worlds Reflections and echoes confused beneath the arch Leaves lose their pigment and hair drains to grey Are there any who dream of me? Was I ever destined? Anadigm, paradigm, anadigm, paradigm How can anything be obsolete if it exists in every moment? Conception to execution, extinction to renewal The mantle burns, the crux corrodes, all will pa** and fade Utter endless havoc, gravitational unbinding As another universe dies, a lost and lifeless generation The machinery of the human body stagnates at maximum entropy And all I see are ashes ashes ashes ashes Matter cannot be created or destroyed, all one needs is already available Absolute failure is just another illusion, the world will not end Uncertainty breeds more questions, more questions breed more quests, more quests breed more life, more life breeds Change, collapse, reinvention, the last enemy that shall be destroyed is fear In your hour of triumph, those who failed before you will not spite you But rejoice in your success, for you have fulfilled their lives The smallest mote, halved until infinity, can never reach zero Intrinsic value can never be eradicated - quantum immortality!!!
