Illusory Reality

(Album: XXIII - 2014)

I'm awake now
Everything that I've ever known is a lie
The walls around me are collapsing in this illusory reality
It's all in my head
A synthetic depiction reflects into my retina
Rushing to my optic nerve
I've been lied to since I was born
All along I've been unaware of my cell
Pacing from wall to wall assuming that I'm free
I was never free
Bound by the limitations of solidity
I was never free
My prison walls reflect a false reality
Trapped in an induced reverie
Wires burrow beneath my cold skin
Pulsing within
I'm awake now
Everything that I've ever known is a lie
The walls around me are collapsing in this illusory reality
I release myself from this world
I remove the umbilical chord from the base of my skull
The illusions subside revealing life as a product of our collective consciousness
Life is what we make it
I open my eyes to true reality
We are no longer born we are grown and harvested
