Perception is the mother of deception

Just watch how interaction, semantics, and perspective

Change the way you feel and think

We are not the ones running the show

We're mere survival machines

Vessels for our genes generation after generation

Consciousness is nature's cruelest joke

The phenomenon of feeling like someone

Who isn't really there

The experienced world

Both construct and fact

Come to terms with the bars that lock us in

Your states of mind

Constantly deceive

Learn to deal with the prison within

Prisoners of unexpected change

Slaves to biology in a cage of flesh

Vulnerable to our complex chemistry

Nowhere to be found is the one we so call "I"

It's never been about how happy you can be

But more about how to survive

When you accept the temporary nature of things

Oblivion may be the only place where you'll be free
