lyrics

We craft the glasses we wear, our reality in the lens
A nearsighted vision based on our own perception
The air tells the truth.
Our glasses thicken and bend the normal away.

We cast our own roles
The hero or the villain.
For whose sake do we perpetuate?
This life is not a stage.

We craft the glasses we wear
All deluded, all in vain.

But the light could never make it past that which refracts, and we can know not a thing to be true
And not a pair of eyes can be seen through.

We cast our own roles
The hero or the villain.
For whose sake do we perpetuate?
This life is not a stage.

But we couldn't see the actors even if it was,
So we craft the lens ourselves.
Eyes closed tight, refracting all light
Lead blinded by our design.
No we couldn't see the actors, not with open eyes
So we cast the roles ourselves
Open wide, spectrum shut
And lines come easy like the dark.
