LYRICS
A-NIHILIST
Ocular proof is proof of nothing,
When that something is self-deceit.
Just because you've got two eyes open
Doesn't mean mind's eye isn't closed.
You cite conjecture, not evidence.
Can't have facts that will contradict.
You don't want logic, don't need reason.
Depend on abject emotion
As you preach truth from the pulpit of
Your own fallible state of mind.
When they say seeing is believing,
Does that mean those with sight impaired
Become nihilists by happenstance?
From cliché's, mental blocks contrive.
Without question, there is no thinking,
When it's blind faith you're living in.
You think this life has divine meaning,
But value is attributed.
You cast the judgment of your beliefs
On those that differ and dissent.
Look only for proof that will support
Your own distorted point-of-view.
Refute all contrary evidence.
Who needs Truth? It would just confuse.
You deny the science, side with faith:
God, a soul, a place to escape.
Don't believe in the invisible,
Just in the invisible man.
No microwaves, or radiation,
No atomic scale or gravity,
No moral law or social order,
No dark matter or Higgs Boson.
No verifiable evidence,
Just a lack of recognition.
Ocular proof is proof of nothing
When that something is self-deceit.
Blind faith points towards self-deception,
When perception is not concrete.
False meaning given, mythology.
Existential threat becoming
Diluted forms of ontology
That say judgment will be coming.
When that something is self-deceit.
Just because you've got two eyes open
Doesn't mean mind's eye isn't closed.
You cite conjecture, not evidence.
Can't have facts that will contradict.
You don't want logic, don't need reason.
