Instrumental: "Dusk To Dawn (Frameworks Remix)" by Emancipator Lyrics: It used to be hard to survive in the wild React to the threats or die as a child Better to treat perceived predators as real Than risk a final fate as a one course meal So we all deal with our own fearful legacy Cuz it’s easy to trigger our guard and our weaponry Selectively screen the scenery deceptively Imaginary or real – our brains see no discrepancy [pause] I’m questioning how much it still serves us To look at opportunities and to feel nervous Our purpose has evolved but our brain hasn’t That’s why we look at success and feel panicked I’m no mechanic but I plan to fix the circuitry Please understand the urgency of the surgery Every day’s a blank page - ours to command But only if we realize there’s a pen in our hand
