Fervor & Indifference in the Bicameral Brian

For staying open here
 there is more or less one way to go
 You can peel yourself apart:
 bicameral progress, dichotomous
 It feels like this grand illusion
 It feels so strangely illogical
 We've been right about things like evolution,
 but if the planet's burning up and no one knows?
 For staying open here
 there is only one way I can discern
 You must peel yourself apart:
 bicameral progress, dichotomous
 It feels like
 a way to wake up and get ahead
 Exist inside reality
 It feels like
 a way to get outside of my head
 Exist outside illusion
 Simply counting everything that's good or bad
 Get past this mental tic I have
 Simply counting everything that's good or bad
 Someone knows if the world is slowly catching fire
 A popular claim is that no one actually knows
 I'm all awash with color,
 physically manifesting anxiety about our fate:
 Life as we know it, meaninglessness, the
 apocalypse
