Before we lost our minds Lyrics

Why did it all become a distant past?

Is there a truth in the myths we hold?

Did we forsake a world of gold?

Or was paradise just an ideal?

A perfect mirage we wanted to feel?

Is this Malthusian paradigm our own doing,

From the fruit we ate, setting our ruin?

Paleolithic times, were they truly free?

Or a precursor to this harsh reality?

Was the boss of nature's grand design,

Also the architect of scarcity's line?

If god is all, and all is god,

Was the past we lost, truly flawed?

Was the garden ever wrong?

What made us reach for what didn't belong?

In Eden, was there something we lacked?

Or was it just a void we thought was fact?

Was god good, was nature kind?

In the days before we lost our mind.

Paleolithic peace, was it just a dream?

Lost in history's endless stream.

What prompted us to taste the forbidden,

To leave a world that wasn't hidden?

Scarcity's ghost, was it real or fake?

In Eden, what made us break?

Was the garden ever wrong?

What made us reach for what didn't belong?

In Eden, was there something we lacked?

Or was it just a void we thought was fact?

Is there a golden era to harken back,

Or can we only move forward on this track?

Harmony lost or yet to be found,

In the echoes of time, we're forever bound.
