Vital Joys

Play the role - And play to win - Play the role - Why question it?
Play the role - Perfect this harm - Why question it?
These "benefits" illusory hide subtle wounds to vital joys
Breach the role - Embrace the fear - Definition should be our own

Greatest strengths
Stem from connection
To inherent bliss
To shared humanity

This is not for our own good (or)
Defense against "Historic Flaw"
Such fallacies of our design
Are truly what corrupt our lives

An economy of acts determines what we're worth
And one can only win if they make the other lose
Meaning that we're all fucked
As these conventions mount
Making false adversaries

Dig down to find the well-spring of our instincts
And wash away the dirt obscuring the truth connecting us

Dig down to find the well-spring of our instincts
And wash away the dirt obscuring the truth connecting us

This is a rally cry to shed the shame inherited
Dismantle these traditions intimacies we've shunned will be revealed
