Gripp - Head in the Cloud lyrics

[Verse: Gripp] At a quantum level, researchers use models to trace Electron clouds around nuclei, their probable states It's not something they cobble and scrape together. This is verified: Particles exist in many states at every time It messed me up when it sunk in as fact Made me feel f**ing detached, a lump in the gra** Picturing Schrodinger's cat or something like that How could we just be expressions of wave function collapse? And just as it's past is when the change occurs and we go From quantum states to the deterministic world that we know Where cause and effect are all that are left and we're just part of the game Caught in the mess of this arduous chain Each separate lobe of our brain has a different sphere of control Their neuronal exchange defines the roles that they play They're subject to the same physical laws; we're all afflicted So in principle, at least, behavior can be predicted But that would require an incredible step The kind of perfect knowledge that we probably never will get So, see, our minds are emergent and the agency we a**ign to a person Is polite fiction, a lie, it's self-serving So absurd, but it's working. So we take it and run And make choices like it's something that we're capable of But my philosophy as a humanist is: do what you do, exist Pleasure is ours to pursue, a gift, so just don't ruin it The future is at our fingers; we can't let it slip through the tips In the end the truth will win, so move forward don't lose an inch Yeah. I'll just stay here and write About physics, philosophy, and the nature of life And at times I'm a pessimist, yes just a little depressed But I choose to use art to cope with the metaphysical stress So with my shell-toe Adidas and my backpack on I stomp a trail of pissed-off lovers and half-a**ed songs My only hope is that some will identify with my growth And it'll aid them on the road while they're finding their own Fired inside of your home where the wires are run Whichever site you choose to buy or pirate it from So commanding is the peak that humanity's reached Creating all these new venues for so many to speak So from the moment of conception to the moment it moves the crowd My rhymes span from electrons up to computing clouds
