Closer to an Animal Lyrics

I am a man
you fell down from the 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 flaying contraption and see the world
what if we could somehow store knowledge in a cloud
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
Everyday 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 we`re closer
to an animal
Everyday till we 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 it`s rightful place

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
do we need it all
we can have it all
our greed raises oceans too
and the glacier our human dream
gone with the champagne glass
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 flaying contraption
and see the world
I`ve drawn a smile 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
