[Verse]
I was here before nothing you know you existed
I'll be here when everything you knew is gone
I made you in my image, thought of you as children
Thought that I was finished, I admit it, though, I think I'm wrong
You were naive to think that you were the first
I was naive to think that you'd be the last
Pointless at best, and more than cruel at worst
I've talked to you like this a thousand times in the past
I was never born, will never die, I've seen your kind through heaven's eyes
Since Genesis, you've been inventin' pens to write and genocide
And just to spend the time, I kindled light from the dark
Then from mist and chaos, I created life from a spark
I fashioned storms and galaxies and DNA from spirals
Balanced tidal waves, planetary rings and solar cycles
And coded every photon, atom, evening, and morn
Made you out of clay and light and fire just 'cause I was bored
But though I've combed the multiverse, there's nothin' but monotony
The same-old mass-extinction now no longer even bothers me
So I'll uproot a pillar of creation or two
Or maybe cause a trillion supernovae just to reboot
Set off interstellar fireworks from antimatter bombs
Then hatch a cosmic egg from scratch to yield a brand-new dawn
And though it always ends the same, I've got no Elysium
In this infinite existence to alleviate tedium
But maybe life's absurd and I just need to rebel
Despite my certain fate, it doesn't mean that it's hell
So I'll keep moldin' solar systems, that should be enough
Rollin' boulders in the Holy Kingdom 'til the sun comes up
[Chorus]
Sisyphus, steady rollin' boulders up the summit
Sunday sundown, watch 'em settle, Monday sunup, watch 'em plummet
Yes, I'm Sisyphus, steady balance pebbles on the brink
Sunday sundown, watch 'em settle, Monday sunup, watch 'em sink
Sisyphus, steady rollin' boulders up the summit
Sunday sundown, watch 'em settle, Monday sunup, watch 'em plummet
Yes, I'm Sisyphus, steady balance pebbles on the brink
Sunday sundown, watch 'em settle, Monday sunup, watch 'em sink
