[Instrumental Intro: 0:00 – 0:45]
[Verse 1]
A vision, free of form
Curling through neural canyons
Gaining traction
In this labyrinth of synapses
Partitions ripped and torn
Scorched by vicious thought expansion
Rapidly flashing
As walls begin collapsing
[Verse 2]
Decisions ever born
Swirling sets of circumstances
Frantically grasping out
For logic in this madness
Expeditions to foreign zones
The composition of gods and worms
Within the mind
While feigning self-determination
[Chorus]
Reborn, reformed, reality torn
Release identification through beliefs
Restore, transform the anatomy of
The mind as is: A cognitive machine
[Verse 3]
Amidst centrifugal
Drifting chemical reactions
Pressing the boundaries
Of current human understanding
Through calculation
And retracing of the course of action
One can defer that all behavior
Is a predetermined course
[Verse 4]
Coursing through our veins
Are complex sets and strings of ego
Binary beings on a desperate quest
For meaning in this world
Passing through our space in time
As live examples for
Computational cognition
The essence of the soul
[Chorus]
Reborn, reformed, reality torn
Release identification through beliefs
Restore, transform the anatomy of
The mind as is: A cognitive machine
Reborn, reformed, reality torn
Release identification through beliefs
Restore, transform the anatomy of
The mind as is: A cognitive...
[Bridge 1]
Lost in thought
I've gone and returned
[Bridge 2]
(Lost in thought)
This place of stones
Has overgrown
Long since removed
And left alone
(I've gone and returned)
This place of stones
Has overgrown
Long since removed
And left alone
(Lost in thought)
This place of stones
Has overgrown
Long since removed
And left alone
(I've gone and returned)
This place of stones
Has overgrown
Long since removed
And left alone
[Bridge 3]
The dream recurring
Wherein is stirring
A weak and worried
Whisper, dying and diseased
[Guitar Solo: Michael Stancel]
[Bridge 4]
Choice is lost
Obey this voice without words
Absent of control
And spiraling out
Spiraling further down
[Guitar Solo: Greg Burgess]
[Verse 4 Reprise]
Coursing through our veins
Are complex sets and strings of ego
Binary beings on a desperate quest
For meaning in this world
Passing through our space in time
As live examples for
Computational cognition
The essence of the soul
[Chorus]
Reborn, reformed, reality torn
Release identification through beliefs
Restore, transform the anatomy of
The mind as is: A cognitive machine
Reborn, reformed, reality torn
Release identification through beliefs
Restore, transform the anatomy of
The mind as is: A cognitive machine
