Here and now is a pretty strange place
let's start from underneath-
we stand on two feet
what peculiar creatures we are forcing our weary, poorly engineered frames to stand up and walk every day

we make sounds at each other and all agree to pretend they make sense
i tie back the hair that dangles like remains around my face

we never want to change our ways but we force our eyes to the sky and conjure thoughts beyond ourselves
we pulse with electricity, chemistry dancing with consciousness

we've built structures that tower above our heads, we've built past, present, future we've built money, we've built music, we've built war

you shouldn't be able to reach me and yet here you are, present as light between my fingertips
why would any of you care for someone you've never met? for that matter why care for someone you know and love?

it's no wonder our brains stage mutiny so often with all of these thoughts

we're improbabilities
searching for purpose that isn't really there
we're so unlikely you can't help but shake your head at how we've made it so far

together, on our own, humans
we've made it this far

together, on our own
Humans
