Behind the Curtain

 

valuable

seen through your eyes

fabricated

when the lens comes into focus

ignorant bliss

choosing to not look behind the curtain

knowing what you know for certain

truth can be ignored

if your comfort can be restored

 

a puzzle box to contort, to distort

to simplify all matters into black and white

no room for values of gray

it must remain this way

 

shutting down

your sphere is a bubble

focused signals

when the message can be fine tuned

prophets can bloom

mandatory

seen in your eyes

illusions

when the lens comes into focus

compulsive bliss

choosing to ignore what is behind the curtain

knowing what you know is certain

truth can be ignored

if it doesn't corroborate all you've absorbed

 

a puzzle box to contort, to distort

to simplify all matters into black and white

no room for values of gray

it must remain this way

 

and it all turns to shit

the pieces just don't fit

the world at your hands

reduced to marketing brands

so it's always been bullshit

a toxic fallacy of choice
