LOSE YOUR SELF

[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)
