"Transperception"

Don't believe your eyes
When the lights are flashing fiction
"If it's visible, it's tangible"
You're buying the disguise
It's in plain sight
Don't mean it's right
The truth you've followed all your life

Perfection isn't easy to find
Direction, blind leading the blind
When we're born into the world, unchained
Told to follow all we can explain

Do you ever wonder
Do you ever fall back on what you know
And find yourself falling on the cold floor
Because the world you thought you knew
Was crumbling in front of you
I don't know the answer
But I know I'll spend my life
Chasing all the answers
One question at a time

Opinions, we've got them
But I'll hold onto mine
Because I know that what I know
Will change in time

Perception, reflections
Of the water that we drink
We can't be content in knowing
But we can never cease to think

Do you ever wonder
Do you ever fall back on what you know
And find yourself falling on the cold floor
Because the world you thought you knew
Was crumbling in front of you
I don't know the answer
But I know I'll spend my life
Chasing all the answers
One question at a time

And our lives, like pages in a book
It's all on paper, take a good hard look
But the lines outside are where I wanna be
I never want to be found, with my hands paper-bound

Do you ever wonder
Do you ever fall back on what you know
Oh, just to find yourself on the cold floor
Because the world you thought you knew
Was a cloud of dust in front of you
I don't know the answer
But I won't give up the fight
Never settle for the senses
To tell you what is right
