Pattern

by Chords of Truth

I lie in wonder how we`ve survived
to make it this far
Spawning our species through the ages
as we spin around our star

Our brains are trained to avoid pain
and seek pleasure
As we progress we devise a standard
adapting it to our pattern

Reaching the outcome that we desire
teeters on a wire
Engulfed in madness as we perspire
staring at the fire

Our brains are trained to avoid pain
and seek pleasure
As we progress we devise a standard
adapting it to our pattern

Down to our cells we have to learn
how to discern
Structure emerging from the random
forming like crystals in a cavern

Our brains are trained to avoid pain
and seek pleasure
As we progress we devise a standard
adapting it to our pattern
