Badly Preserved - Shattered Faith lyrics

The scientist purported that there ain't no purpose

and the theologian told me that it's all been designed

and I'm trying to maintain objectivity

The world won't illuminate what really matters

See them run in place (Here and now)

in the human rat race (No reward)

But now there's doubt and gravity

But I won't run in place (Are we blind?) in the human rat race (There's no way)

I can set the pace (What we have) and accept my fate (Is shattered fai
