Badly Preserved Shattered Faith Lyrics

Shattered Faith Lyrics

The scientist purported that there ain't no purpose 

and the theologian
told me that it's all been designed 

and I'm trying to maintain
objectivity 

The world won't illuminate what really matters 

and
I'm an imperfect modalmoral meaning extractor 

processing the complexity


Born of the Earth (Are we blind?)

The roads you
take, the friends you make and those you throw away 

The method is a
simple synthesis of the past and present state 

You never lose if the
path you choose is one you can easily navigate 

I had a dream, light and
carefree 

But now there's doubt and gravity 

But I won't run in
place (Are we blind?) in the human rat race (There's no way) 

I can set
the pace (What we have) and accept my fate (Is shattered fai
