Parallel Universe

Did I actually wake
 Or is this in my head
 Confined observations
 This is all that I have
 Marching single file
 Down the street
 Commercial human beings
 Are all that I see
 Staring at the screen
 Clockwork machine
 A technical agenda
 This is more than it seems
 Dark clouds rolling in
 Changing our world
 Dissolving who we used to be
 Parallel universe
 Is it as pretty on your side?
 Reach for the sky
 Reach for your life
 External motivations
 Versus internal dreams
 Conflicting propaganda
 No conscience is clean
 Lifting the veils
 Opening the blinds
 An erase of memory
 In due time
 Universal moment
 Of epic size
 An awakening of the mind
 Sun spots breaking through
 Changing our views
 And the static that was
 Once between
 Parallel universe
 Is it as pretty on your side?
 Reach for the sky
 Reach for your lives
 Black and white
 Opposites attract
 Soon there'll be nothing
 Holding us back
 Tearing a hole
 Through the fabric of time
 Opening the universe
 A beautiful sight
 Lifting our fears
 It is increasingly clear
 Perpetually in motion
 Just a cog in a gear
 A savage generation or
 An army of ants
 A sterile civilization
 Always washing our hands
 Slowing things down
 Don't speed them up
 A still-framed image
 Of the righteous and just
 Mirror, mirror on the wall
 Who's the likely one to fall?
 Reach for the sky
 Reach for your lives
