Living in a Simulation

When I was young, I had a dream
 Living in a simulation
 I saw the hand of God in the sky
 Perhaps it was a figmentation
 Just a dream reaching out of my mind
 But then a finger twitched and like a flip I switched
 I saw a world unlike anything I
 Had heretofore seen or been before, see
 Now I knew everything was a lie
 What a strange new sensation
 To fill my head with the light of the stars
 By some mental defenestration
 I slid through my dimensional bars
 I smelled shapes that were impossible
 I tasted colors that could talk
 I heard energy rush into me
 The sublimation of my heart
 Oh fantasy, supervene rhapsodies over me!
 And after so much deliberation, I've decided that I'd like to stay
 Deep in this endless fascination, watching my troubles echo away
 I could be happy here where the air is clear
 And I can see the gestalt of time
 Although the denizens of this heavenly clime
 Seem something less than inspired
 When I was young I had a dream and in the dream I was a dog
 And there he lay under a tree, having his own wonderful dreams
 See how a mind with time to dream
 Would see a place meant for the free
 And have those thoughts conjure a screen
 Between the how and how it seems
 Oh bright sophistry, let down your canopies
 Give me sleep from forgery, send me back to where I've been!
 Living in a simulation, I guess that's all we can ever know
 I thought I'd felt an elevation, but what's above is another below
 Maybe it was a hallucination and my imagination lied
 Living in a simulation, I saw the hair of dog in the sky
 I saw the hair of dog in the sky
 I saw the hair of dog in the sky
