The Helix Withers Lyrics

Phenomenal to be born (Free will is illusory)

Now time must see these fibres torn (Ignorance seducing me)

Every choice and every thought (Consciousness is but a pawn)

Preprogrammed through genic rot (In life's game as we fester on)

Some only ponder this surface of skin

Others say a man is but his brain

Its flesh suit cradles an answer within

Twofold helical of molecular domain

For the sentient, a judgment made

Feeling experienced or notion conceived

Like all is a pawn in our DNA's game

Through its bidding do we all come to bleed

As it withers

Phenomenal to be born

Against all odds to exist

Now all that's left is to keep these fibres untorn

Although time cannot allow this

A continuance instinct, like every perception

Masterminded by a natural code

Every thought and sensation

Its product until the helical phenomena

Erodes

It all sheds away

Finite individualism, intuition's call

A schism dividing yourself from you

To exist as a mind and a genetic thrall

One outweighs the other, prehension askew

With these blueprints in control

Thought is but flesh, and power it does hold

In this ego death, one might find comfort

Or anxiety, this too determined through the genic mould

Phenomenal to be born

Now time must see these fibres torn

Every choice and every thought

Preprogrammed through genic rot

Free will is illusory

Ignorance seducing me

Consciousness is but a pawn

In life's game as we fester on

As to why sees no resolve

But the helix withers to evolve

Our framework is our opposition

For it has designed us to destruct

Architect of all emotion

These ephemeral minds to instruct

In this world, as abundant as empty space

But beyond, one as rare as us

An anomaly so commonplace

Into two the helix cuts

Phenomenal to be born

Against all odds to exist

Now all that's left is to keep these fibres untorn

Although time cannot allow this

A continuance instinct, like every perception

Masterminded by a natural code

Every thought and sensation

Its product until the helical phenomena

Erodes

It all sheds away

It all sheds away

A life could never hope to be severed

From the binds of its heredity

To make sense of subconscious endeavor

Exercise in futility

Every story must once again be untold

Every chapter must be lost in time

Watching as superdeterminism unfolds

Dismaying, humbling, then sublime

Once more, the helix withers

A continuance instinct, like every perception

Masterminded by a natural code

Every thought and sensation

Its product until the helical phenomena

Erodes
