Knowledge is a preconception
Ignorance is indeed bliss
The world you see is a perspective
riding on the tide of the abyss

We find ourselves tied to a cage
Blinded by a shell of our potential
We conceal the nature of our will
Afraid to be experimental

Our fight is constant and brutal
And victory is shadowed by complacency
Wisdom is neither right nor wrong
And happiness is your only ecstasy

You are given one chance to be free
And stand strong against the constant
But history and normality tell lies
And trust is always absent

So take life with a grain of salt
And be open to a chance at redemption
For existence is fleeting at best
And hope is your only salvation
