Thrice - To What End lyrics

To what end?

To what end do we proceed so boldly
If all we are is chemical reactions?
And what world have you so deftly sold me
If you reduce me if I have no soul to touch?

No heart to love, no evil to rise up above
No angels and no ghosts
No real victories to toast
If you believe that this is true
Then I must ask: To what end do you proceed?

No fire in our eyes no zeal in our hearts
No magic in our songs
Are we just empty vessels?

No fire in our eyes no zeal in our hearts
No magic in our songs no fire in our eyes
No zeal in our hearts no magic in our songs



And you tell me i have no soul to touch
No heart to love, no evil to rise up above
No angels and no ghosts
No real victories to toast
If you believe that this is true
Then I must ask: To what end do you proceed?

Did I not feel your love? Did
I not feel your hate?
And did my heart not beat
And did my heart not break?
And are these tears for naught? And
Are these words in vain?
If this is all we are then
What have we to gain?
What of all the art and books
Music and poetry?
What of all our memories? What
Of our hopes and dreams?
They hold no value then
We hold no faith but greed
So I must ask you: To what end do we proceed?
