Who decides the rules?

Who draws the lines?

Who designs each person to be the way they are?

Who created "good" and "bad"?

What cruel god would make such a world?

I don't know

Or rather, I don't want to


Who decided I should be born?

Who thought this was a good idea?

Who reached out his arm and violated the pure?

Who made me feel this way?

What cruel world would betray such a god?

EXPR1 seems to have set themselves upon reaching this goal

Finding the answer, the creator

Of everything they've ever known; but upon learning the truth

They shake their heads and insist "It's not... it's not"


Half of this world cried itself to sleep

Alone, in unison, but especially each one

Feeling pointless... Ha, what a way of putting it


Philosophy, religion, deep space exploration, speculation, searching for something

What do you expect to find?

Is it enlightenment you want?

Here, worship this mound of stone


At some point, you have to ask yourself

What are we searching for?

Is this life of ours not enough?


Will it ever be enough?
