What are we doing here?
What are we doing here?
Where are we all going?
There's no sense in this
but sense in this, only --
only we know how,
our exclusive code.

There is nothing and everything in it for us
everything given
for us
from us
but nothing in the sense of what
this world
knows or recognises.

It knows and recognises nothing.

So what are we? Without fault
yet doomed to failing
failing while finding
we will be the true manifestation of "for rich or for poor"
we are the only ones who know.

For this gain
we will sacrifice most else.
