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

Perspective
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
