ive tried to fight pessimism to look for an explanation to the prime weakness we seem to convey a strong drive to destroy ourselves all statements have turned out to conduct to a maze of suspect justifications encased between hermetic walls of incertitude axioms appear so contrived and science the paragon of devious crafts i struggle to assimilate this fact no wisdom brings solace chorus i start to realize the limitations of my attempt to truly understand the misery of men the more i look inside the more i am prone to deride the basis of every creed to know is to be saved im lost standing at the crossroads with no means to decide on a better course no choice appears convenient no pathway predominates unsure to ever escape my posture of inflexible disbelief i decide but to abandon this hunt for significance repeat second verse and chorus nothing is true nothing is eternal theres no reward for steadfast belief in a flawed system of assumption but a breakdown of cognition gears to deprave the core of all knowledge and confer it the arrays of faith is to increase the prospect of oversight and absurdity repeat chorus
