lyrics

cycles inspired through unity in tens
a mass undivided - no false pretense
from the eye of the storm an imp appeared
boasting foul art and instilling fear

portrayed as a joke the callous laugh out
never thinking to ask what its all about
skies open wide and the veil is dismantled
the room is cleared for issues unhandled
this is mind though it
is not mine but
if it is not
it may be mine

beyond the limits of comprehension
sterile eyes witness an abduction
curtains close and now alone
lets personify this broken home

stuttering wreck nervous and numb
stumbling over mysterious tongues
said figures of light flicker design
to infiltrate the mind by way of the eye
this is mine and it
is now mind but
if it is mine
it is not truly mind

a bridge now built between towering posts
and a ditch now dug even deeper below
the foundation is fluid - never the same
not glitch in this system's mainframe

portrayed as a play and now pleased to say
illusions of I were never innate
a glimpse of grey matter gave it away
so sulken soothsayers have led us astray
this is mind and it
is not mind
it is mine but it
is not mine
