Complete By What

[Verse 1] You say, “It seems” Like that’s a wound I hear a question Wearing a crown What must be finished? What must be claimed? A sky with no owner Still bears a name Does it need deities? Why would it? Because you said so Because you said it [Pre-Chorus] What is purpose? A tool in a hand A part in a plan A mark in the sand If you need meaning To make you feel whole That’s your hunger talking Not a hole in the soul [Chorus] Complete by what? Complete by what? (amen) Complete by what? Who sets that law? (amen) A world can be whole Without your frame A world can be whole Without your name Complete by what? Complete by what? (amen) [Verse 2] You ask for utility Inside the machine Like truth has to serve Some throne you’ve seen But a universe doesn’t Need to obey Your need for a ladder Your need for a way Maybe your “purpose” Is only a mask A story you borrow To soften the task Maybe a god Wouldn’t flatter you Maybe your role Would cut right through [Pre-Chorus] And if there is one Then hear me clear Your joy is not promised Your comfort not near Could be your calling Is burden and dust Could be your “blessing” Is learning to trust [Chorus] Complete by what? Complete by what? (amen) Complete by what? Who sets that law? (amen) A world can be whole Without your frame A world can be whole Without your name Complete by what? Complete by what? (amen) [Bridge] You call it empty I call it open You call it broken I call it unspoken No transcendence Required to stand No hidden signature No master plan If you want purpose Look in the mirror Ask what you need And say it clearer [Final Chorus] Complete by what? Complete by what? (amen) Complete by what? Who sets that law? (amen) A world can be whole Without your frame A world can be whole Without your name Complete by what? Complete by what? (amen) Complete by what? Amen, amen
