Simulation

It seems I should have walked away

Reverse the wager I've no means to pay

Toto has pulled back the green tonight, in sight

And blue pills coat with such distain

I've worn the shades for so long

That I've forgotten how to see

The curtain rises but who dares to to pull the strings

I've questioned all the voices in my head

Are they mine or have I been misled?

Total understanding don't seem to mean a thing

When you can't see behind the silver screen, a figurine

Can't you hear me scream?

By the way of cosmic rays

A subtle breakdown jarred the code display

A simulation as I can tell, our cell

Playing out a hopeless scene

We stand to lose all our charm

And faith just seems to wane

A billion years can seem a stunningly short time

I've questioned all the voices in my head

Are they mine or have I been misled?

Total understanding don't seem to mean a thing

When you can't see behind the silver screen, a figurine

Can't you hear me scream?

Posturing the way I feel

Is truth only what we believe is real?

Marvel the sketches that paint the night, starlight

And take a breath before it's all erased away
