The worst is over

I wanted to put just a few lines from this song in my Lyric Of The Day, but the whole thing is so good that I had to share it.

Thrice - To What End

To what end do we proceed to 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 steel in our hearts
No magic in our songs
Are we just empty vessels?
Did I just not feel your love?
Did I not feel your hate?
And did my heart just not leap
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?
