Manipulating reality,
  the moment concealed

Manipulating reality,
  what’s virtual ‘real’

Manipulating reality,
  the keys push and drain

Manipulating reality,
  technology reigns

Manipulating reality,
  fantasy schools

Manipulating reality,
  apostasy rules

Manipulating reality
  all cursors and screens

Manipulating reality,
  lost memory undreamed

Manipulating reality,
  electrons control

Manipulating reality
  a hard driven soul

Manipulating reality,
  love crashes and burns

Manipulating reality
  —truth cyber unlearned
