Society Versus Nature

It's undefeated, more confirms than the internet

It'll kill a vet like a sniper hits a simple silhouette

So imagine what it does to the clueless

The unprepared and scared, ones who are truly foolish

The subtle conflicts of the ages

Are problems we inherited from ancients unforseen

And when the battle causes anguish

It's often society versus nature underneath

We love the comforts of community

But still treat the members amongst it brutally, then call for peace

There doesn't have to be this friction

Should we obtain balance we'll reach the mythic vaunted peak

"It's like it was, allows you to sort of be transported back in time"

"That's the sort of thing I'd like my grandkids to be able to do"

"Just to be able to, go the same place I went"

"Be able to see virtually what I saw"

Nature in the interim, society in the interval

Maximum escapism, sobriety is the minimal

Intoxicated from the hubris

Overcomplicate our simple world as we misuse it

Society's the nuisance

Trying to sell a game of rules and pretend

Where you can only own what you can defend

Essence is large, the fact is you are small

Nature plays the referee, you arguing the calls

Intelligence lives, while ignorance is targeted

In a realm where you only have your will and wits to bargain with

Part of this is the cognitive dissonance

We experience knowing we're born with death sentences

We're less interested in reconnecting

Disrespect it, until it's about to kill us to teach a lesson

So lost in age we dismiss it

And forget that our place within is uniquely intrinsic

The subtle conflicts of the ages

Are problems we inherited from ancients unforseen

And when the battle causes anguish

It's often society versus nature underneath

We love the comforts of community

But still treat the members amongst it brutally, then call for peace

There doesn't have to be this friction

Should we obtain balance we'll reach the mythic vaunted peak
