seems we’re all living an illusion, like a mist,
not tangible, quickly passing as we see the light
and suddenly the moment’s gone,
even as soon as we experience it
it’s already over.
what we call the present is the past.
seems we’re all living in a memory.
but what is that anyway?
connections of synapses in your brain,
highly complex and cleverly designed.
and is there something more?
a place where recollections are stored.
like matter in a fifth dimension,
it equips us with our power of reason.
is there a way
to efface these wicked thoughts?
they’re stuck inside my mind.
I wish you could extract
this substance that’s debilitating me,
so please
tear it away!
there must be something more,
a place where these ideas are born!
so tear away these evil notions,
that I'm left with a pure mind and emotions!
is there a way
to efface these wicked thoughts?
they’re stuck inside my mind.
I wish you could extract
this substance that’s debilitating me,
so please tear it away!
