Dystopia

In your mind’s eye there’s a picture
The picture speaks the truth
So turn it ‘round to face the wall
Then the picture speaks no proof
You can burn the houses
You can scar the land
If I can keep this company
Why should I play my hand
Just give me fifteen years of life
Give me far more time to decide
Just hide me here in cotton wool
The dead can’t pass the blame
Just make sure to stay inside the herd
Playing someone else’s game
You’ll build for me a bubble
A place to buy my time
For when you’re in a darkened room
Blindness is no crime
Dystopia you keep me sane
You’ll keep me sane?
There’ll be no early warnings
There’ll be no secret map
There’s only so much pressure
To take before we snap
There’ll be no going backwards
We go forwards ‘till we crash
When the fire races through the sky
The only end is ash
Dystopia just keep me sane
Please keep me sane
The cracks they grow in number
A chasm will open wide
There’s now only two choices
An I will choose to hide
The light is growing stronger
Quickly shut the blinds
Vision that’s tinged with red
Infection on our minds
Don’t dystopia, you’ll drive me mad
You’re driving me mad

Bubble Vision

A recurring reflection which never ends
Showing me my own mind
All denial buried so deep
It’s no longer there to find
Every direction that I can look
Only confirmation to see
And yet still every time
Someone disagrees with me
How can it be that everyone’s thoughts
Are always so tightly bound
They all lie ready and waiting,
To prey on me like hounds
All too easy to just give in
Make everything clear
Can’t help but keep thinking
but always think in fear
Don’t let the mirrors corrupt your mind
Don’t run away or you’ll be left behind
Stuck in the middle of an endless fight
Don’t let them beckon you into the light

Master computer, can you tell me what to do?
Every decision is such a haze only clarity lies with you
Master computer, can you tell me who to be?
I only want to be happy, comfortable and free
Master computer, can you tell me how to act?
I know I’d only act on whim instead of act on fact
Master computer can you tell me who to see?
I see so many faces but they all look the same to me
This endless noise is hurting me
How can I know what to believe
Master computer, can you tell me what to think?
There’s a gap in my opinion will you fill the missing link?
Master computer, can you tell me what is real?
How can I understand this world when I don’t even know how I feel?
You are my big brother
And I love you with all my heart
Just another empty box
Just another empty box
I think I left my heart in a playground
Desires abandoned under a Christmas tree

There’s a coded message in my head
Some secret message, a hidden desire
To look through your eyes
Strange piece of glass, open my mind
Show me, where is my face?
Show me the truth, there’s something not right
Matter as blank as the night
No details to see, merely a shape
Where is it? Where is my face?
How can I know if I’m even a person?
How can I know if I’m even living?
How can I know if I’m even breathing?
How can I know that I saw you leaving?
How can I know that I had that feeling?

Paradise

Welcome to a place where the sun shines every day
Welcome to a place where sadness always goes away
Welcome to a place where nobody can feel any pain
Welcome to a place where everybody looks the same
Welcome to a place where nobody begs for more
Welcome to a place where everyone is always cured
Welcome to a place where everyone wants to remain
Welcome to a place where everyone thinks the same
Careful ‘round the cracks in this world
Don’t fall through any holes in this world
If its hope you look for its danger you’ll find
All can be fine if you avert your eyes
Just focus them on the paradise
Be careful what you wish for child
Hope is a dangerous thing
Welcome to paradise child

Somewhere in the wasteland a silence spreads
While your friend takes a record of where you tread
Don’t you know that everything is connected?
One nod of agreement takes its toll
You don’t know when a dealer sells your soul
No-one really knows what it means to be innocent
A hungry beast that’s wanting more
Make sure that you’ve locked the back door
I don’t see how long we can continue
Sometimes my freedom scares me
Forever wasteland
Nothing changes
A path to mayhem
Forced submission
A digital playground
Where nobody is safe
In one single heartbeat we could all die
Why feel sadness when no-one can hear you cry
I can’t bear to just stand here waiting
If there’s no outside why should I leave
To go and fight something I can’t see
All you can do is just keep on living
Sometimes my freedom scares me
No call to action
No clear reaction
No foe to target
No end to aim for
A digital playground
Where nobody is safe
