A Grand Derealization

Lyrics

Now the gaslight’s always lit

casting shadow and shame from its electrical wick

The flattering glow plays tricks

Stoking envy and vengeance for that dopamine hit

The headlines read the same

There’s billions for killing and greed is still king

The pillars cracking from the strain

But the seeds far below will bring love when it reigns

How hard will it be to start over again?

How long will it take? Can we start to begin by dropping the armor, unclenching the fist to discover what could be?

Or is this just a place in a wheel going ’round where there’s no trust in truth and there’s no solid ground?

A grand derealization

We’ve all just been set free

A few thousand years from soon

This time will be remembered as an age we passed through

when we decoupled what we knew from all the stories we never agreed to

How hard will it be to start over again?

How long will it take? Can we start to begin by dropping the armor, unclenching the fist to discover what could be?

Or is this just a place in a wheel going round where there’s no trust in truth and there’s no solid ground?

A grand derealization

We’ve all just been set free
