LYRICS

From the simple idea of change blindness
Our minds are not as they seem
An entire existence
Revolving around
What we can't acknowledge
From the simple idea of change blindness
Our minds are not as they seem
As they seem

A brain malfunction
We'll never admit as defeat
Defeat

A constant determination to find truth
To find truth to find reason
To find reason
To find reason
To find comfort
An unspoken religion in being the
All- dominant
All- dominant
All- dominant
This is what we call a brain
This is what we call a brain

This is what we call a brain
This is what we call a brain

A brain

This step will allow allow the
Universe to run its course
We have a short ticket
And a lot is in hiding
So let's take in what we can for now
Just like here on Earth
A notion we do comprehend
Hide what others can't understand
The universe is the biggest biggest threat
Overachiever that commands attention
Brute force of hysterical hysterical reasonings
There will always be a Marfa

Close one eye step to the side

Close one eye step to the side

As humans we could never be
Content with knowing all
Yet we can't be content with the fact
That our brains will never know
A mental surgery
A never ending journey
A technological drawback
Pushing us further from our natural minds
There will
Always
Exist
A Kryptos

Even

Even things created by other humans
Should be considered in the experiment of an entire
Species of understanding
A magician's pure joy
A mind bend for the common folk
Follow the straight line

The ultimate deceiver

Close one eye step to the side
Step to the side

We will always be part of the great misdirect
Stepping in and stepping out
We will always be part of the great misdirect
Mirrors and obfuscation
