Causality

lyrics

the mind pulls the strings of the heart
pulls the strings of the body
but whose hand clenches the strings of the mind?
a note is struck and we resound accordingly

you don't have to see it
or choose to believe it
but once seen, unseen no more

are we really so naïve to believe
our thoughts and actions are truly our own?
cause and effect
ones and zeros
every choice merely an option in a handpicked catechism
and selections are weighted
to their benediction

we are tame and obtuse
predilection and malevolence
counseled to intent
all subsists as by design
we view from the pixel
failing to behold the grand scheme

you don't have to see it
or choose to believe it
but once seen, unseen no more
and once known, unknown no longer

an ignorance of eyes upon thee
negates not their existence
nor their motive
keep clinging to the illusion of free will
society is an orchestration
your motives are predetermined
tread atypical and be erased
your space removed and replaced
like fragmented data

freedom is a virus
and they are scanning
"hyperion to a satyr"
we are only as free
as cogs in the machine
