Tao Lyrics

strangled by your own logic
crippled by your own education
what we once saw as foolish
has become the framework for a new sense of being

you misunderstand the teachings
of Nietzsche and Jesus
you've twisted the beautiful words
of a thousand poets.
your nihlistic ideals have left you
without meaning or direction

How does it feel to live without hope?
Egocentric and selfish is all that you know
no sense of something outside of your own mind.

why wait for another life
when you can have fun in this one.
why wait for another life
when you can plunder in this one
why wait for another life
when you can pillage in this one
why wait for another life
when you can rape in this one
why wait for another life
YOU ARE ALREADY DEAD

You've already sold your soul to self-interest
you've given your life up to a living without hope
friend, you are wasting your mind
friend, you are smarter then this

optimism does not equate to delusion
hope does not equate to foolishnes
love does not equate to weakness
