Bilingual
Is it by design to be unsatisfied?
It keeps the engine on and the fire bright
For centuries over centuries, we burn for more
Is hunger some kind of curse or a driving force?
I can't put my finger on what we're driving towards
Mile markers set in place
Look back at all the progress we've made
Comfortable but not quite safe
Still so vulnerable at the end of the day
We're speaking up but death has the final say
Future medicine could've saved her life
We're trading in her pain for a gentler kind
Breakthrough after breakthrough, I'm still surprised
The system's we've built to help are so paralyzed
So many capable hands were tied
Mile markers set in place
Look back at all the progress we've made
Comfortable but not quite safe
Still so vulnerable at the end of the day
We're speaking up but death has the final say
How much of my life
Will be illuminated by the glow of a little screen?
I'm hypnotized
Headline, after headline, after headline
Cease this brokenness
Were we made for this?
To make room somehow, for the infinite
Drink the ocean, a single sip
Mile markers set in place
Look back at all the progress we've made
Comfortable but not quite safe
Still so vulnerable at the end of the day
We're speaking up but death has the final say
What if the fountain of youth is one step away?
