Faulted Reason

Can I exist as who I am
Or will I be born again
As someone new
I've known before
The spoils of my mental war
My identity is what you see
And not the bullshit that you hear
It beseeches me what you believe
Why don't you give your proof to me

You talk to yourself now
Look to God when you feel down
I don't see him around
Is he here with you now

I can't sleep without knowing truth
It alludes me, and I can't discern
If you speak truth or empty words
All I ask is evidence
Why this belief has you convinced
If you suffer from cognitive dissonance

The way my mind portrays her
Measuring speeds with lasers
Cut by Occam's razor
I've become someone else
I don't know how I got here
A life full of fear
But I am here
Wherever "here" is

I've found my place
Beyond the stars
But I don't know who you
Perceive that you are
I desperately want to believe
In free will or in destiny
But from what I see we are not free
We cannot control the things we think
Sail across all seas
Infinitely, discover paths to certainty

I've discovered myself now
But I don't know what I've found
Never thought I could be proud of myself

But the end has passed this sickly path
It exemplifies and shows its math
Does it correlate with vector graphs
Speaking gibberish on your behalf
It's okay to question things
To know the why of your beliefs

Cognitive dissonance
Denial of evidence
Preaching of decadence
Moral malevolence
Sounds that are transcendent
Hallucinate the event
That caused you to believe it
Prominent ignorance
Victim of genetics
Naivety in transit
Why should I believe it
Why should I believe it
