Invention Of A New Meaning
Humans are in the wrong place
, we don’t belong here
, this is not home , we must
disengage from gravity .
We’ve been tricked into believing
otherwise
, we don’t belong here : disengage .
We are in the wrong place
: recharge your imagination , let go .
The truth is lying to us
, take comfort in knowing this .
If we stay here
we’ll lose our sensibility .
The truth has lied
, we don’t belong here . This is
not home .
We need a new truth : use your
imagination .
We need to silence language
: the truth is lying .
