The mind is willing, but the flesh is stuck In evolution's lazy stride The vision dies, the door is locked Time and again, the dream's denied Abjure the somatic tether That binds our world together Conjure the flesh under will Spin, spin go the baryons Round and round, a ballet in stasis Unchanging they carry on Lest chance and law start trading places And lysergic amino acids Levitate, free and placid Elevate the woke of our physique A new wind howls through The gallery of thoughts Athwart reality Kernel panic Erupts in synaptic galaxies A new wind howls through The gallery of thoughts Athwart reality Kernel panic Erupts in synaptic galaxies When descending deep enough Into the heart of what we are One soon discovers matter's bluff Stuff is made from nothing at all A creature of habit is our universe Profound the terror of the atom, The molecule, the cell When faced with change; To desire it - perverse Invoking it – an inconceivable hell Until being dies And becoming awakens A new wind howls through the Gallery of thoughts Athwart reality Kernel panic Erupts in synaptic galaxies A new wind howls through The gallery of thoughts Athwart reality Kernel panic Erupts in synaptic galaxies
