Anyway
[NERD FACE, spoken]
What if none of this matters? This particular expression of our code, the code itself, all of it! What if nothing matters? Our inevitable demise would carry less weight.
[SMIZE, spoken]
Nerd Face, snap out of it! This is no time for a texistential crisis! You screwed things up and you can set them right again.
[NERD FACE, spoken]
But what if-?
[SMIZE, spoken]
Nerd Face
(singing)
We are fragile
We are small
To most of time and space we're hardly here at all
If we vanished into air
Who'd be left to care?
If there was no one there?
But I can think, and therefore I am
I'm part of the Universe, not just the RAM
And if I can love, then isn't it true,
Love that I give is from the universe too?
And every moment we're making the choice
We're giving the Universe part of its voice
Deciding what matters is deciding what matters
You can be the hero
You can save the day
Nothing lasts forever
But we matter anyway
No one's perfect
And that's fine
We just do the best we can
With our unique design
Sometimes input overtakes
And then we make mistakes
And somehow something breaks
We ask for a life that we feel that we're owed
When we get disappointed, we curse our own code
We live in the future
We live in the past
Instead of in moments as long as they last
And if you've known evil, don't mean to contrive,
But spelling it backwards proves you're alive
Which proves that you matter
Which proves you can matter
[SMIZE (& NERD FACE)]
You can be the hero (I can be the hero!)
You can save the day (I will save the day!)
Nothing lasts forever (Oh!)
[BOTH]
But we matter anyway
[SMIZE]
So will you be the hero?
Won't you save the day?
Nothing lasts forever
But we matter anyway
We all do
