lyrics

I sank into a couch of comfort floating down a stream
Reality is relative, they told me in a dream
And every false awakening is inspired by the air
I breathe it in and it begins to melt away my cares

Well life used to be a struggle
But now we’re all just so damn bored
Luxury has saturated everything
How can we find meaning anymore?

I saw a thousand robots working on the shore
I tried to take a better look but my vision is poor
I bought high-tech binoculars to reshape my eyes
Well now I depend on them to know just what is right

Well life used to be a struggle
But now we’re all just so damn bored
Luxury has saturated everything
How can we find meaning anymore?

I stared in shock and horror as a figure came to me
Not a robot, but a human, encased in machinery
He stretched his iron hand to me, saying, “Real life is mundane”
“I live a life of purpose” he began to explain…

I Wake up

I Plug in
Turn on
And Ossify

I Wake up
Once again
I Give in
And Comply

But I like the world that I’ve created better than the one outside
And I’d like to let you in but I’m afraid you might begin to cry
Call me an escapist, but this is something much more real
Come into my world and let me show you how I feel

Play by the rules play by the rules
Enter a realm of creation
Follow the fools follow the fools
Fool’s gold will build our new nation
Define all the lines define all the lines
A world without gray is a bright one
Stepping in time stepping in time
Footprints made here can’t be undone

{Solo 1 – Dean Parnell – Electric Guitar}

I will make you understand
I will make you understand
I will take you under
I will take you under

But I like the world that I’ve created better than the one outside
And I’d like to let you in but I’m afraid you might begin to cry
Call me an escapist, but this is something much more real
Come into my world and let me show you how I feel

I will take
I will take
I will make you
I will take
I will, I will, I will, I will, I will
I will, I will, I will… but am I free?

{Solo 2 – Dean Parnell – Electric Guitar}

The vault is shut and I am free
But when I emerge, where will you be?
The vault is shut and I am free
But when I emerge, where will you be?
The vault is shut and I am free
But when I emerge, where will you be?
The vault is shut and I am free
