Beginning the dynamite era

Will we hold on or fall down, are we prepared?
To stay alive, our problem - we're not aware
of who we are, regardless
Why should we care?
This paradise was contrived and we set our eyes
to something that wasn't there

Our whole lives wasted
We never traced it
Back to ourselves, back to the choices made
Our whole lives wasted
We never faced it
Not by ourselves, not with the same misakes

And every morning, I wake up with the sudden threat
Of death and failure, my mind it caters
To thoughts that never end
Well, I'm looking for a brighter side of things
The clouds with silver lining
but I'm afraid I'll never find them
Among the thunderstorms that hide them

All is vanity
We've never been given so much control
We're taking this for granted
This is the reason why we panic

Our whole lives wasted
We never traced it
Back to ourselves, back to the choices made
Our whole lives wasted
We never faced it
Not by ourselves, not with the same misakes

Isn't it interesting, how a culture of rugged individualism
Rarely accepts responsibility for their own decisions?
Instead they chose to levy the blame on an outside force
Whether it's God, government, destiny or chance
You have no one to blame but yourself
