Synthetic Desert Lyrics

Come one, come all

To Evolution's Peak

Revere the design

Of self-sufficiency

A synthetic desert

A paradise

You'll see for yourself

For one small price

As the man of the cave sings...

"Come get everything you need

Right here, I've got a deal indeed

Come get everything you need

Right here, I've got a deal indeed"

He makes me feel like a lower species

Needing others for my necessities

Working and paying and begging, "please"

Surviving with no guarantees

As the legend goes, he started from scratch

Two hands, one mind, and a plan to hatch

Divorce himself from the rest of the globe

So nothing is bought and nothing is owed

The elements, he mechanized

Until the whole earth idolized

Society created in one man's cave

His kingdom throne, his home and grave

His kingdom throne, his home and grave

So we paid the entry fee to get through the door

Unsure what he could need our money for

But still excited to see this legend for ourselves

Once we get past the souvenirs that he sells

The glow of the lights grows dim

As we descend further in

Until we finally reach the towns

Built into these grays and browns

Semblance of society

Smaller, cheaper, crumbling

So proud this is all his

But is this all there is?

As the man of the cave sings

"Come get everything you need

Right here, I've got a deal indeed

Come get everything you need

Right here, I've got a deal indeed"

Mustn't there be more that my ticket buys?

Or were all those legends merely lies?

Is this the place where humanity thrives

Or did he just barely stay alive?

And as we realize our mistake

And the ground beneath us starts to shake

We won't get stuck within this hole

We have got to run to save our souls

We won't get stuck within this hole

We have got to run to save our souls

As we run we see him there

Peering out above the square

Smiling lips, eyes filled with fear

The enigma of knowing that he'd die here

He calls this place Evolution's Peak

As the light escapes and our odds get bleak

Synthetic desert or just desserts

Bracing to learn how much death hurts

He was crazy after all

Now we join him in his fall

He was crazy after all

Now we join him in his fall

He thought he was better off on his own

But no one ever dies alone

His home and grave, his kingdom throne

And no one ever dies

No one ever dies alone
