[Intro: Rou Reynolds]
For the 100 billion who came before us
Who forged civilization
For the 8 billion alive now
Who shape its destiny
For the trillions still to come
Whose very existence teeters on a knife-edge
[Bridge: Rou Reynolds]
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self)
[Chorus: Rou Reynolds]
You're suspended
In a light beam
To transcend it
You gotta lose your self
You're suspended
In a light beam
To transcend it
You gotta lose your self
[Post-Chorus: Rou Reynolds]
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self)
[Verse: Rou Reynolds & Chris Batten]
You think you know exactly how this will play out
You think you know exactly how this will go
[Bridge: Rou Reynolds, Rou Reynolds & Chris Batten, Rory Clewlow & Chris Batten]
You say "we're a disease"
But you're confusing the afflicted for the affliction itself
(Zoom out, zoom out)
You can't see the wood for the trees
[Refrain 1: Rory Clewlow & Chris Batten]
They open wide and devour
[Refrain 2: Rou Reynolds, Rou Reynolds, Chris Batten & Rory Clewlow]
Be self made and celebrated
Or single-handedly, suffocated
The individual with no power
They open wide and devour
Fly solo, lone ranger
Trust no one, sole trader
The individual with no power
They open wide and devour
[Chorus: Rou Reynolds, Rou Reynolds & Chris Batten]
You're suspended
In a light beam
To transcend it
You gotta lose your self
You're suspended
In a light beam
To transcend it
You gotta lose your self
[Post-Chorus: Rou Reynolds]
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self)
[Refrain 1: Rory Clewlow & Chris Batten]
Open wide and devour
[Refrain 2: Rou Reynolds, Rou Reynolds, Chris Batten & Rory Clewlow]
Be self made and infected
Off-grid, disconnected
The individual with no power
They open wide and devour
Walk alone, isolated
Bootstraps, intoxicated
The individual with no power
They open wide and devour
[Drop: Rory Clewlow, Chris Batten, Rory Clewlow & Rou Reynolds]
Yeah
They open wide and devour
Ah
They open wide and devour
[Chorus: Rou Reynolds & Chris Batten, Rory Clewlow, Rou Reynolds, Rory Clewlow & Chris Batten]
You're suspended (You're suspended)
In a light beam (In a light beam)
To transcend it (To transcend it)
You gotta lose your self (You gotta lose your self)
You're suspended
In a light beam
To transcend it
You gotta lose your self
[Post-Chorus: Rou Reynolds]
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self...)
(You gotta lose your self)
