Aegri Somnia Vana

Aegri Somnia Vana (Latin): a sick man's dreams; hallucinations In the country of the blind, the one eyed men are kings So condemn what you don't understand **C O N S U M E** It's more alluring to feed the machine **C O N F O R M** Is your life the masterpiece you dreamt of painting? From out of the depths, Comes Father Time to devour your /follie de grandeur Your blissful ignorance Your wishful thinking **O B E Y** It's all I can do to preserve a calm mind Or try But I'd rather play follow the leader I'm plagued by my cognitive processes It haunts me And my inability to bring luminescence to the infinite shadows swirling around me Don't you know by now your essence of life manifests in the vibrancy of your frequency? Philosophy or logic It's a Love > Fear dichotomy
