Living in a Simulation

Lyrics for Living in a Simulation

When I was young, I had a dream Living in a simulation I saw the hand of God in the sky Perhaps it was a figmentation Just a dream reaching out of my mind But then a finger twitched and like a flip I switched I saw a world unlike anything I Had heretofore seen or been before, see Now I knew everything was a lie What a strange new sensation To fill my head with the light of the stars By some mental defenestration I slid through my dimensional bars I smelled shapes that were impossible I tasted colors that could talk I heard energy rush into me The sublimation of my heart Oh fantasy, supervene rhapsodies over me! And after so much deliberation, I've decided that I'd like to stay Deep in this endless fascination, watching my troubles echo away I could be happy here where the air is clear And I can see the gestalt of time Although the denizens of this heavenly clime Seem something less than inspired When I was young I had a dream and in the dream I was a dog And there he lay under a tree, having his own wonderful dreams See how a mind with time to dream Would see a place meant for the free And have those thoughts conjure a screen Between the how and how it seems Oh bright sophistry, let down your canopies Give me sleep from forgery, send me back to where I've been! Living in a simulation, I guess that's all we can ever know I thought I'd felt an elevation, but what's above is another below Maybe it was a hallucination and my imagination lied Living in a simulation, I saw the hair of dog in the sky I saw the hair of dog in the sky I saw the hair of dog in the sky
