Humanity is so advanced Constantly pushing boundaries Solving the unknowns of existence Day by day, one step closer To all-seeing comprehension of reality So close to a cure Just short of a solution No knowledge can hide from us forever We press on to illuminate The dark depths of mortality Seeking truth We go where none have gone Pursue an answer just beyond our grasp Closer than ever before Yet still outside the realm of reality Or maybe our reality Is just a fabrication The materialization of a fiction Whose architect works by power of suggestion Under the pseudonym of "Sanity" A fiction of simple skeleton: Spine of logic and ribs of reason Whose blood flows rich in measured season Headed by calculated cognition Infinite, within the bounds of Sanity But we sink our teeth into each fact We cling to all we think we know We say "question everything" and "think beyond" Convince one another we actually do As we dance on our ropes pulled by Sanity      And we see as we wish to see      And we wish for all we ever saw

As We Wish
Humanity is so advanced Constantly pushing boundaries Solving the unknowns of existence Day by day, one step closer To all-seeing comprehension of reality So close to a cure Just short of a solution No knowledge can hide from us forever We press on to illuminate The dark depths of mortality Seeking truth We go where none have gone Pursue an answer just beyond our grasp Closer than ever before Yet still outside the realm of reality Or maybe our reality Is just a fabrication The materialization of a fiction Whose architect works by power of suggestion Under the pseudonym of "Sanity" A fiction of simple skeleton: Spine of logic and ribs of reason Whose blood flows rich in measured season Headed by calculated cognition Infinite, within the bounds of Sanity But we sink our teeth into each fact We cling to all we think we know We say "question everything" and "think beyond" Convince one another we actually do As we dance on our ropes pulled by Sanity      And we see as we wish to see      And we wish for all we ever saw
