He bashed against the barriers
The pain inside subsiding
As he desperately anguished
Filled with aspirations greater
Than the worth of his detractors
Than the human frame could hold
Knowing natural selection
Could justify his struggle
Knowing he could never break it
Knowing he is damned to try

Take a rest, True Messiah
Master death, True Messiah
Gasp for breath, True Messiah
Wonder why you dare to try
Then you'll die

He thought he felt a budging
So he battered it all night
Till his back was sore for trying
And he couldn't bear the pain
He woke up hours later,
Mind still desperate for an answer
But the walls held up as strongly
As they'd done since he was born
As he faded into darkness,
His cerebrum played the game

Now you're free, True Messiah
You can see, True Messiah
Let it be, True Messiah
And I'll come to take you home
You lost alone

He thought he felt him crying
But he couldn't find the tears
He thought he felt a yearning
But he won't remember why
He thought the world was dying
But it's laughing in his face
He thought he could outsmart them:
Intelligence in vain
He thought he could outfight them,
But they refused to fight him

You're alive, True Messiah
Where's your drive, True Messiah?
You'll contrive, True Messiah
To get up and try again
But you never seem to win
