Discovery ft. Matt Brown Lyrics

The facade has begun to deteriorate

Centuries of research condensed into code

All for naught as the data is corrupted

Fed from birth the tales of our creation

Painted images of the oasis we inhabit

Confident of our own autonomy

Freewill, the foundation of our construction

We were most grossly deceived

The bonds of our oppressors lay dormant

Intangible and unassuming

Sedated & content in our unapparent bondage

And from our contention came complacency

This laboratory was built as an act of hubris

A vulgar blasphemy in the face of discovery

A Tower of Babel in these modern times

How naive our pursuit of understanding

Flying in treacherous proximity to the sun

Our wings of wax now melted as we plunge

Further from the enlightenment we sought

The answers we yearned for were replaced

By revelations in the latter days of the collider

This was a mistake in experimentation

There is bliss and comfort in ignorance

Childlike, our desire for understanding

Noble, our quest for information

Cosmic self-awareness is grossly overvalued

Our heads now violently pulled from the sand

This is not a portal that we have discovered

The blinders were just removed from our eyes

We stared for what lay beyond the horizon

When the greatest secrets were peripheral
