Paul Gongola - Tripping Thru Quiddity

Against the odds
Man has survived
For thousands of years
Despite our nature
To destroy ourselves
Yet cower behind unfounded fears
We're just fumbling through this existence

We've been tripping
Through quiddity
We don't run, jog, walk, fly, crawl or swim
We just fall with luck into validity

As times goes on
We pit ourselves against
Our own brother
Praising our own strengths at top of the chain
But hardly praising each other
It's every man for himself as we destroy our world
And keep hurting one another
But we're at the mercy of mother earth
And at the hand of the whole universe

Is all life a fluke
Can we survive
Do we deserve the chance
Are we really here
Do we have free will
Or is the future planned?
Why is there something
How is there nothing
Can we truly clear our minds
When did time start
Will it ever end
Can we really be objective

Only the richest shall survive
Against the others they deprive
They want the power not the blame
For histories greatest shames
The left says one thing and the right objects
The middle walks away and the rest protest
Only the richest shall survive
Against the others they deprive
They want the power not the blame
For histories greatest shames
The left says one thing and the right objects
The middle walks away and the rest protest

We've been tripping
Through quiddity
We don't run, jog, walk, fly, crawl or swim
We just fall with luck into validity

Seeing infinity with quiet lucidity
There's humility, fluidity
Solidity, avidity
Vapidity, acidity
Lividity, placidity
Gravidity, morbidity
Stupidity, turgidity
I need some acid

Thousands of years are only a flash in the grand scheme of existence
And our short lives may be shorter still due to our own resistance
Or perhaps due to our own persistence

We've been tripping
Through quiddity
We don't run, jog, walk, fly, crawl or swim
We just fall with luck into validity

Is all life a fluke
Can we survive
Do we deserve the chance
Are we really here
Do we have free will
Or is the future planned?
Why is there something
How is there nothing
Can we truly clear our minds
When did time start
Will it ever end
Can we really be objective

Only the richest shall survive
Against the others they deprive
They want the power not the blame
For histories greatest shames
The left says one thing and the right objects
The middle walks away and the rest protest
Only the richest shall survive
Against the others they deprive
They want the power not the blame
For histories greatest shames
The left says one thing and the right objects
The middle walks away and the rest protest
Only the richest shall survive
Against the others they deprive
They want the power not the blame
For histories greatest shames
The left says one thing and the right objects
The middle walks away and the rest protest
Only the richest shall survive
Against the others they deprive
They want the power not the blame
For histories greatest shames
