The Escape

Even in a simple exchange I can tell

Whether or not you swallowed those propaganda pills

The steady overdose that we've stomached since our birth

That makes us content with our simple and obedient existence

Breathe this in and let this dose be of reality

To the world as you were truly meant to perceive it

Infinite shades of reason and truth

Of fulfillment and identity, of vices and virtues

Let the curtains close across the stage you've known

And the spotlight fade for the chance to see

What resonates within your very core

Will light the stage that you were meant to perform

Allow yourself this moment to move freely

The walls will crumble from around you

What echoes now will be from within

So believe in what it is that you hear

Breathe this in and let this dose be of reality

To the world as you were truly meant to perceive it

Infinite shades of reason and truth

Of fulfillment and identity, of vices and virtues

Let the curtains close across the stage you've known

And the spotlight fade for the chance to see

What resonates within your very core

Will light the stage that you were meant to perform
