Smoke and Mirrors

I can travel through time
I can travel through time
and I’m gonna share my secret with the world
I can travel through time
I can travel through time

I’m a time traveller moving slowly, forwards only, where no man has ever gone before, I’m going boldly. Don’t try and hold me back, my path is set, I’m a body obeying the laws of cause and effect. What did you expect? Face facts, your brain is where the action is and you ain’t in control of which chemical’s reacting with which, you’re as powerless as I am, I promise you, you couldn’t change your mind if you wanted to. Thoughts just appear in your head, right now you’re probably thinking about what I just said, and thoughts lead to actions, it’s [bad word]  you think then you do, so who’s in control here, me or you? In the end there’s no point denying it, you’re a one hundred percent product of your environment, dust in the wind float with us, choosing’s an illusion; smoke and mirrors, nothing more.

I can travel through time
I can travel through time
and I’m gonna share my secret with the world

I’m a time traveller, moving slowly, forwards only, unholy; my existence on this planet is solely coincidental, I’m not growing up, I’m just gradually losing potential. The more I learn the less I seem to know, as if all the information were somehow escaping, I’m not the person I was aged ten, every cell in my body’s been replaced since then. Born again, the millennium edition, my soul’s the only element that’s missing, but what is a soul? It all depends on your definition, everything we understand is confined by our language. You claim the sky is blue, me too but I’m never gonna know what that means to you. We’ve been talking forever about the things we observe, we’re no closer to the [bad word]  we’ve just got more words and we can travel through time.

I can travel through time
I can travel through time
and I’m gonna share my secret with the world
I can travel through time
