Intrinsic

Tiny pieces taking steps towards covariance How primitive are we still? Widen your peripheral Socialized rules scale back the progression Searching for the answers There's a universe inside us all Every passing lifetime important as the last A tiny grain against a finely tuned grid See where you've come from Release my senses, they only hold me back Abstracted as forms derived from the deeper order Searching for the answers, there's a universe inside us all Every passing lifetime important as the last Secret dimensional noise Secret dimensional noise Secret dimensional noise Secret dimensional noise Disregard direction Horizons follow entropy Disregard direction Our microstate feeds their energies Disregard direction

Predicting the everyday, this life has become static! Depending on past achievements, when all we want is to create new! Rules and boundaries contain my thoughts! To a point I can't accept! Maybe I'll try to find a new plane in which to exist It's not far - it's been there, waiting this whole time Innate notions Experience is flawed Described emotions The wiring is wrong

It's a mistake to marvel at ourselves To accept what we are as of now I need to hold onto some sort of relevance, it's all I have left All at once I could view the entirety of space A moment of isolation welcoming paralysis Follow the cord which projects and makes the decisions for you Adaptation brought introspection All comfort has escaped me Remember to breathe in Breathe in Breathe in again At the edge I exist in I watch my whole life again

Now we question the biological rhythm, the flowing of information received It all breaks down to this one projection Last particle of the sequence, movements too small to be detected I've organized your surroundings No single place you can find me at Limbic regions regulate the input of chemical reactions The system is the pilot, I am always behind I am I am the unconscious mind and I am never gone Internal conversation commands the elements

Senseless drones will pretend to be enlightened The population is easily controlled by withheld information Foolish enough to proclaim certainty of the answers Feelings of safety overwhelm Care for those you know, not imaginings How could we live another way? Misplaced confidence... Misplaced confidence... We've tried this on our own, but look where it's gotten us What does this creator want from us? Would insignificant worship bring forth meaning? Surely this wasn't chance, there must have been a designer And it views our progress still The possibility of centrality gives them misplaced confidence Rules, characteristics and forms Then decided by the elders Preying on the weak and fearful A safety net for your loved ones The influential sphere is created Please do not miscalculate my tone, I speak with humility Soon you will find your confidence misplaced The answers are greater than we can imagine I know you... you're scared to be on your own I'll always be there for you For you...

Interrupting phases of transduction Digital synthesis encodes ensemble's work Synthetic cortisol travels white matter tracts Building new crosstalk revolutions Receptors show resistance to our changes Diverting channels to new activations The mechanics of the wave converge Hidden in the vacuum is the answer to our apoptotic fate It will surely change the world The memories are communicating between two states Symbiotic system Diverted from the vacuum Manipulating neural networks Moving forward with this work Desire controlled by logic Moving forward with this work Desire controlled by logic

Inertia, by way of device Infinite variety, connections to be made, perfect dreams conceived Implementing impulse to virtual selection, perfect dreams believed Inertia, by way of device Inertia, by way of device Redefine the conscious mind, implants in the cortices Radiation field surrounds, algorithms fall in line User decides the outcome, quantized mixed reality Holding the keys to your own relevance

Slipping Slipping Into a deep state Unconsciousness Beta waves decrease Isotonic movements show signs of remission Delusions lead to derealization Electrified signals are still the mainline The only self I've known meets the cosmic theater in my mind

Sensing a new wave of neuronal presence in the field Entoptic clues tell me this is not a dream I'm melding into surroundings The terror and the fear feels as if it's mine alone
