ZTK - Relativity lyrics

[Verse 1] Open your mind to the inventive inner infinite The divine will to continue living within existence It's in this grid we experience the illusion of distance Concluding we're separate from everything, when there isn't a difference Do physics define our limits, or vice versa? Why is it we find resistance so irresistible Listlessly twisted in blind indifference? An instance of ignorance leads to a lifetime of persistence Like, why is it that I require dividends to provide my a**istance? Have I given in to the systems of pride and belligerence? We live and die wondering if life's a coincidence Insisting we spend it rigorously attempting to find significance I'm skeptical of the validity of this perpetual festival of questioning everything And so I question it In fact, my skepticism has led me to be skeptical Of the subject of skepticism in general I remember yesterday I underestimated time's power 'Till I wound up living the rest of my life in about an hour And now I'm flashing back through a loop of epiphanies Like MC Escher's "Relativity" reflected throughout a thousand towers The sheer amount of people sound asleep is astounding I lost count of the times I tried to count the sheep We're bound to these transient shells Mistaking that which occurs within ourselves as reality The only communication that truly exists is miscommunication Through interpretation of the subjective speech of the human nation Maybe if we were truly patient with each other instead of rushing To exclaim that we understand, then the walls we built would all be duly breaking Or maybe I too am mistaken [Hook] Everything is but a dream And nothing in the Universe is really what it seems Heaven's gates don't open for everybody who knocks And everyone alive is living life trapped inside a box Nothing actually matters 'till we interpret it We're aimlessly drifting through space and wonder what the purpose is Heaven's gates don't open for every person who knocks You'll never escape the fact you're living trapped inside a box [Verse 2] The further away you try to run, the deeper that you crawl inside 'Till eventually you reach what you consider the edge and you fall and dive Unaware that it's all in your mind Creating a chronological series of experiences and calling it "time" And every time that I have tried to break out of the box I've found it's surrounded by chains bound within thousands of locks The sound of my own thoughts has made me so impatient I hate the way I've painted all these mental limitations And every place I travel I have a box covering my eyes When every sight I see is a projection of optical stimuli So if my brain produces everything I feel Then why should I believe that anything outside of myself is real? And I can't help but feel that everyone is unaware The box is all they've ever known, never knowing it was ever there Our existence is strictly in stringent isolation We try to guide ourselves blind through the mind's imagination I have created boxes of smaller relative size And found to my surprise that they fit well inside dwelling in mine Which made me wonder, if I really escaped the margins Of my own box, would I merely appear in another box that was larger? Only then did it occur to me How it's been since the beginning and again through the end of Eternity This one perspective is all that I've ever known So biased towards myself, I'd be fickle to try to pretend I've grown So even if this point of view I could escape I'd only appear in another different box with a varying color and shape So no matter how objective I try to be the life I see is just from one perspective I'll never know the other sides, never know the truth As long as I'm playing this game trying to break these f**in' tightened locks You can try to think outside of your own mind You'll only find that your whole life, you've been stuck inside a box [Outro] Heaven's gates don't open for everybody who knocks [x7] Everything is but a dream within a dream [x7] Heaven's gates don't open for anybody
