Closer To An Animal lyrics

I am a man,

You fell down from that apple tree

The other day with me

We had already forgotten,

We one day crawled up from the sea

Imagine now,

If we one day could build a flying contraption

And see the world

What if we could somehow

Store knowledge in a cloud

Draw a smiley face on the moon

Find the meaning of life

Riding the crest of our time

With bravado, soon complete

Will we see a new one rise behind us

A new chance, a new world

Our wave,

It’s about to break

And we’re about to dive

In the void, it echoes our fall

Our paean to avarice

I think we’re closer to an animal

Every day, till we fall…

Can you believe,

We have all those eyes high in the sky

And we can now see the world

One thing truly makes me blind, the wisdom of hindsight

The eye in my own hand

Riding the crest of our time

With bravado, soon complete

Will we see a new one rise behind us

A new chance, a new world

I think I’m closer to an animal

Every day, till I fall

If you want it all, you can have it all

But greed raises oceans too

When the glacier of our broken dreams

Melts in your champagne glass

Someone knocks on your door

Four times…

Sand in your hour glass

Every grain is a day

Falling, finding its rightful place

If you want it all, you can have it all

But greed raises oceans too

When the glacier of your broken dream

Melts in your champagne glass

Do we need it all, we can have it all

Our greed will raise oceans soon

And the glacier of our human dream

Gone with the champagne glass in the sea

Back in the sea…

Back in the sea…

I am a man

In the grand scheme of things

Only minutes have passed

Since I crawled up from the sea.

But already, I’ve built a flying contraption

And seen the world

I’ve drawn a smiley face on the moon

And stored knowledge in a cloud…

What a wonderful gift our mind is.

But why am I using it to destroy this beautiful planet…

My only home.

If it defines me,

If it makes me a human,

I need to get

Closer to my inner animal.
