Our perception, so limited and so restrained
A symptom of our condition
Mass confusion, the evidence of staring blind
A symptom of our condition
But we're ready, ready to face illusion
Ready, ready to survey dark vistas
Where forgotten realities have come to the surface
New details, inner workings of the machine
Ours to discover
Lift the veil, give us focus
A view flawless, we're so naive
Lift the veil, the faint shading
Of the world that we perceive
Steady, steady, we won't shy away
Steady, steady, as we face the unveiling
Where we see everything anew
Enhanced by a new light
Mask lifted from the face
Of the world we knew
It's all coming clearer
Lift the veil, give us focus
A view flawless, we're so naive
Lift the veil, the faint shading
Of the world that we perceive
Have we always viewed our world
World subdued out of focus?
Have we always looked through broken
Broken lenses, broken lenses?
Have we let ourselves
Be convinced, be convinced
That our privilege is justified, ours by right?
Ours by right, ours by right
Lift the veil, give us focus
A view flawless, we're so naive
Lift the veil, the faint shading
Of the world that we perceive
Lift the veil, give us focus
A view flawless, we're so naive
Lift the veil, the faint shading
Of the world that we perceive
