Neutral 00:52
Keened by epiphanies that purge our cognitive dissonance Neutral Leaned by inner voices that judge us until they glance Neutral Curt embers limn faces behind costumes

Sceptic determination to debunk the scams Barren affirmations agitate the gams These attempts to answer sophist questions These fallacious a priori estimations The burden of proof lies on the believers Red herrings argued by deceivers Illogic assertions free of evidence Can be rejected with no hindrance Rebuke the guillible philistine The transcendent and the asinine Will those simpletons realize? Solipsist phanerons deduce terse instructions Realist phanerons induce true notions Unfalsifiable hypothesis Presumption of any genesis In the name of curiosity Stipulate the epitome through discovery Shun the foolish speculations Use empirical and objective methods Semmelweis reflex Why blame my opinion for its innocence? They can't discern views with another lens Heteronomy splintered into bedlam Hatching a plethora of lunatic damn The burden of proof lies on the believers Red herrings argued by deceivers Illogic assertions free of evidence Can be rejected with no hindrance Rebuke the guillible philistine The transcendent and the asinine Spreading amongst us all To make our lore fall Will those simpletons realize?

Tree Of Life 03:47
Complexity and stability of molecules Ordinary process of physics and chemistry We are all survival machines Through perpetual mutation In this competitive reality Some are programed to kill For chemical energy Where we wrestle to live Violent concurrence to produce offsprings Generations of natural selection Adapt through extreme climates as livings A convoluted world of prediction (Every decision is a gamble) Action is a chancy business Future of abiogenesis arrived Survival of the fittest and stable The tree of life relating all species By achieving multiplication In this competitive reality Some are programed to kill For chemical energy (Where we all wrestle to live) Violent concurrence to produce offsprings Generations of natural selection Adapt through extreme climates as livings (A convoluted world of prediction) Wrestle to survive and procreate A struggle for purposeless existence Programed obligation to relate A conclusion from common descent Through selfish or altruistic methods The best suited for its environment From the platform of diversity Kinship without obliged affinity The true face of nature (Our instincts to conjure) There's no evolutive goal No foresight for the future

When development leads to pejoration Progress trap hidden beneath reward Advise searched in all connotations Find vigilant warnings to discard Servants kneeling to the empire Worthless nationalism restrained by culture The pride to follow the violent tradition (The pride to follow the violent tradition) Principles to separate the globe Obscene conceits to conquer frontiers (Mindless symbolism) The coward sacrifice Dignified as heroic Useless as to administer medicine to the dead (To administer medicine to the dead) Nothing humble in bragging modesty Venerate the murders among pawns Fruitless honor to trust the enemy Gratitude between opposite crowns What a waste of golden opportunity A barbaric way to defend a country Lacking the true courage of a contrarian (Lacking the true courage of a contrarian) To birg and corf as an habitus Can't break the chains of orthodoxy (Mindless symbolism) The coward sacrifice Dignified as heroic Useless as to administer medicine to the dead (To administer medicine to the dead) For we must now create a deviance to their norm A cognitive dissonance to the ideas they conform Worthless symbolic capital

Billion hands clasped in a absent candor While two hands usurp the throne they elect Destitute of needs with no rancor While we're seduced by the halo effect Bias influenced by impressions Delusive languages by behaviors All to mislead our convictions For rationality is our savior The supernatural and ignorance poisoning our minds It seems so alluring and inviting The illusions of knowledge A perfect tool to control and exploit The gift of slavery is offered... By those kings cloaked in friends By celestial dictatorship By dramatic rise of charlatans Manipulation coming from... from sanctity Making us feel secure through fraudulent fallacies Through those fake moralities (Hidden monarchies) Faith will surrender all our minds, the delusion of all kind Subjective illusions called revelations They're exemplifying our values By doing the contrary Claiming to hold the cures By condemning free inquiry Claiming... Claiming to hold the cures The cures for false malady Claiming... Claiming to hold the cures Manipulate through sanctity Argumentum ad populum Unbalancing the pendulum Argumentum ad populum Pacing over the conundrum Why?

My halo dwindles into zilch So that no lark remains to filch Wielding values of vain ethos Pinnacle of the blank cosmos As I taper through the never Into the vortex of cipher The whole Universe to abate Everything to obliterate The staid energy dims until entropy Erode to omit solemn empathy (Pity...) The lemniscate is engraved in silence Infinity of time murders existence (Absence...) (The miracle is that there is no miracle) The laws of nature are never suspended in our response (The miracle is that there is no miracle) A universe stranger than our bounded imagination Pilfer all relative nadirs As the nimbus points the radars The vapors of life reach zenith Geometry form azimuth Research unfathomable quarks Hurl the electron as it sparks Just unbelievable in size Stars from so far will hypnotize... ...My senses... Small units to measure protons (The miracle is that there is no miracle) The laws of nature are never suspended in our response (The miracle is that there is no miracle) A universe stranger than our bounded imagination Are we under a misapprehension? Can we ever find out the true notion? It's an epistemological obstacle we shall all surmount It's not a mystery but a puzzle we shall solve with count Break the bounds So try to grasp this paradox A single thought outside the box From the quantum fluctuations Methods to inflate dimensions Compute the moment to efface The metric expansion of space Fathom the way of the atom The answers lost at the bottom

Following the bigoted masses Blindfold hysteria led by counter-intuition Paranoia to conspiracy theories Mix facts to attend superstition Extrapolate utopia from partial data Reassured by false premise Childish feelings to live in comforting fantasies The arrogance to overvalue self (The infancy of the species) A pernicious imagination A securing veil hiding reality A comforting lie full of ambiguity A way to circumvent truth (A way to grudge verity) Naive overconfidence strutting in solace Evidence dismissed by the will to believe A security blanket Covering metaphysical lies Pseudoscience protected Protected in consoling cries Assertions by bystanders of dreams (Assertions by bystanders of dreams) *solo* Wailings and incantations Assisted by mirages Committing sins of your own sect Individual cult of spiritual hypocrisy Eyewitness testimony From an unevolved commonsense From an unevolved commonsense
