From us you creators; you confound our reality.
Six seconds, damn that's a lot of time, six

But our unconscious mind was there before us,
Responding to it, feeling it, deciding our pathway.
Curse the day we decided to walk in the past,
Turning our world on end, walking blindly in what was.
We are confused, confounded, perplexed, puzzled,
"Who really is the sub here?"
