Many went to the shimmering land of make-believe
and ventured the farthest corners of the mindscape
Merely testing the ice, I never went too far from the safe and solid ground
Afraid of the darkness I might find (underneath)

Exploring the mind to escape from your daily lives,
where you [bad word] the head of a state in a state of mind
All links to reality fading
Pandora's box lies waiting
Instead of the roof of the world it [bad word] a nightmare

We expect perpetual motion, a chain effects
The newfound land out to be a grain of sand (ever volatile)
Searching the edge of consciousness for insights in the outside world
Well conceived, but [bad word] only apply in this state of mind

The key lies in knowledge, temperance
No magical answers or escapes from reality,
but a marvellous break for a visitor passing through
