lose your self

Enter Shikari

For the 100 billion who came before us
Who forged civilization
For the 8 billion alive now
Who shape its destiny
For the trillions still to come
Whose very existence teeters on a knife-edge

(You gotta lose your self...)

You re suspended in a light beam
To transcend it, you gotta lose your self
You re suspended in a light beam
To transcend it, you gotta lose your self

(You gotta lose your self...)

You think you know exactly how this will play out
You think you know exactly how this will go
You say we re a disease
But you re confusing the afflicted for the affliction itself
Zoom out, zoom out
You can t see the wood for the trees
They open wide and devour

Be self made and celebrated
Or single-handedly, suffocated
The individual with no power
They open wide and devour
Fly solo, lone ranger
Trust no one, sole trader
The individual with no power
They open wide and devour

You re suspended in a light beam
To transcend it you gotta lose your self
You re suspended in a light beam
To transcend it you gotta lose your self

(You gotta lose your self...)

Open wide and devour

Be self made and infected
Off-grid, disconnected
The individual with no power
They open wide and devour
Walk alone, isolated
Bootstraps, intoxicated
The individual with no power
They open wide and devour

Yeah
They open wide and devour
Ah
They open wide and devour

You re suspended in a light beam
To transcend it, you gotta lose your self
You re suspended in a light beam
To transcend it you gotta lose your self

(You gotta lose your self...)
