In our stimulated, simulated brain wave
Collectively entranced, supplanted reality
The new wave of an old groove
As hypnotizing self-suggestion induced
The destiny for recently awake stars to improve
Perception cauterizes the magic bloom
You reach to see we are the same belief
Believers need to understand the course of time
Make it rewind with abstract mind
The memory melted flash bulb crashes full
Across the pattern of landscapes woven through theme
What I tell you Is
That you are behind
The background and foreground
In your lofty fantasy reality spells out
Without a single shred of doubt
So believe what you see
Because you are what you believe
