Like a crack in the clean slate I see emotion take over the rational We are the favoured sons of reason With tools at our disposal Squandered day by day
Strip the thoughts Heal the system Take the original back It is inside me/now If this is all I can remember Can I ever trust myself
Like a flash or a fleeting glance I see movement in the corner of my eye Now the mind goes into overdrive To process and deceive How will I ever know
Give up the experience To halt the fictional mind It is inside me/now Block out all that makes it painful Set the pieces back in place
If this is all that I remember, can I ever trust myself
I track movement Like light behind my eyes Made to match up With what I tell myself each day My experience Is what I do not know And one I cannot trust
It infects the marrow A virus of ideas It is inside me/now What my mind is telling me Must come undone
If this is all that I remember, can I ever trust myself
