Cognitive Computations

(album: Proponent For Sentience - 2016)

A vision, free of form
Curling through neural canyons
Gaining traction in this labyrinth of synapses
Partitions ripped and torn
Scorched by vicious thought expansion
Rapidly flashing as walls begin collapsing
Decisions ever born
Swirling sets of circumstances
Frantically grasping out for logic in this madness

Expeditions to foreign zones
The composition of gods and worms
Within the mind while feigning self-determination

Reborn, reformed reality torn
Release identification through beliefs
Restore, transform the anatomy of
The mind as is: a cognitive machine

Amidst centrifugal
Drifting chemical reactions
Pressing the boundaries of human understanding
Through calculation
And retracing the course of action
One can defer that all behavior is a predetermined course
Coursing through our veins are complex sets and strings of ego
Binary beings on a desperate quest for meaning in this world
Passing through our space in time as live examples for
Computational cognition
The essence of the soul

Reborn reformed reality torn
Release identification through beliefs
Restore, transform the anatomy
Of the mind as is: a cognitive machine

Lost in thought
I've gone and returned

This place of stones
Has overgrown
Long since removed
And left alone
The dream recurring
Wherein is stirring
A weak and worried
Whisper dying and diseased

Choice is lost
Obey this voice without words
Absent of control
And spiraling out
Spiraling further down

Coursing through our veins are complex sets and strings of ego
Binary beings on a desperate quest for meaning in this world
Passing through our space in time as live examples for
Computational cognition the essence of the soul

Reborn, reformed reality torn
Release identification through beliefs
Restore, transform the anatomy of
The mind as is: a cognitive machine
