lyrics

I am everything I've ever seen and ever heard.
An amalgamation of experience and thought.
Even though I perceive something beyond, these eyes won't let me see past all that is before me.

As I contemplate the matter at hand, I am left only with my thoughts. Memories cascading through synapses, illuminating and orchestrating a biological infrastructure powered by a will that cannot be explained.

Neurons fire as I enact desire to interact with this world. Who started this causal chain? Can I know anything?
Knowing that, even my eyes do deceive me...
Am I lost? Can life poses any form of meaning?

Mind over matter
Observe the universe in all its majesty
Mind over matter
but don't blink or look away. As fast as you close your eyes it will all change.
Fundamentals constantly in flux. All we know is all we don't.

My ideologies become me,
an infinity of complexity rides on my shoulders. Leading and guiding this colossus through space and time.

Nothing is as it seems, my thoughts are muddled by my restrained perceptions. Confined and undermined by my own position.
Now I see in part but one day I will rise above.

I will rise above (x3)
I am the perceiver, only because I'm being perceived.
Can life poses any form of meaning?

Mind over matter
Observe the universe in all its majesty
Mind over matter
but don't blink or look away. As fast as you close your eyes it will all change.
Fundamentals constantly in flux. All we know is all we don't.
