[Verse 1: Serj Tankian]
Life is a story
Go ahead and find your sight
Life is your glory
Go ahead and live the night

[Pre-Chorus: Serj Tankian]
But to live means to be here
In the present, now
Do you try to bow for the gift of your day
Then you cede to the morning sun
Sun!

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]
Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive

[Verse 2: Serj Tankian]
Life is a story
Go ahead and find your sight

[Pre-Chorus: Serj Tankian]
But to live means to be here
In the present, now
Do you try to bow for the gift of your day
Then you cede to the morning sun
Sun!
[Chorus: Serj Tankian]
Pretending that we see doesn't give us the sight
Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive

[Interlude: Serj Tankian]
What is it that makes us lose sight
True sight, of what is real and essential?
I'll take organised patterns of chaos
Over the chaotic organisations of man, any day

[Chorus: Serj Tankian]
Pretending that we see doesn't give us the sight
Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive
Pretending that we see doesn't give us the sight
Pretending that we live doesn't make us alive
