lyrics

Born into the splendor and the beauty we call life
Rejoicing in the echoes and achievement of mankind
With the gift of consciousness there has to be a price
To suffer is a byproduct of all sentient life
At one with our collective existence - sharpen my mind
This burden is ours to bear - a painful sacrifice
Now I beg the question, why must I suffer to survive?

Why must we endure so much torture?
My mind is racing as the answers drift
Growing resentment of my own knowledge
The blade is sharpened on both sides

This is the price of consciousness

This album being played over the PA system at the museum where Salvador Dali's "The Persistence of Memory" is housed is what caused the faces of the clocks in the painting to melt. meeko
