Shai Hulud Eating Bullets of Acceptance Lyrics

Our outlook is bleak, but the moment is grand.
To be told we're independent is not enough.
We should strive for autonomous thoughts.
And your pride in your conformity is sickening.

This useless praise.
But this desire for focus triggers abuse
of an endless sense of insecurity.
We grasp at endless questions for a sense of hope, a sense of hope.
~
It's not so simple to sit and wait.
We cannot embrace our roles blindly.
They're a__igned, they are a__igned, based on the fact that we will accept.
Minds are in suspended animation
due to an attachment to this established lifestyle,
to this established lifestyle.

My existence will not be dictated like a reading from a book.
I will not be predetermined.
~
Our outlook is bleak.
When approval is all we crave (and the moment is grand).
Your pride is sickening.
In your conformity.
But the moment is grand.
We should strive for autonomous thoughts.

Approval is all we crave.
It's all we crave.
