Just a few ancient questions left, Mr. L
Why don't we smell the roses anymore?
When do we get another shot?
Truly, madly, magic sun and moon and from sand to dust and dust to earth
momma... yours (Voight-Kampff)
In a world I don't belong
How can I face this life alone?
Back in the different age
For the ghosts haunting my mind
Of the ones I left behind
There is nothing I can do
Back in the different age
Why did you bring me back?
(Like a lab rat in a maze)
(What's all these rods stuck in my brain)
(locked in this virtual jail)
(Why did you bring me back?)
(Like a lab rat in a maze)
(With all these wires stuck in my brain)
(Why did you wake me up?)
(Locked in this virtual jail)
I could decide to stay here and dream on forever more
To live without the danger and the fear I felt before
A life of devoid of sadness, no more suffering and pain
In a realm of made believe within the limits of my brain
But can I really fool myself?
(Could I fly inside this lucid dream)
Into believing I'm still me
(In this mind-machine technology)
A synthetic state of consciousness
(Could I be a part of this new real?)
(Could I dream forever more?)
(Without the fear I felt before)
(There'll be no suffering and pain)
(Within the confines of my brain)
Within the confines of my brain
(inviting and exciting - a new home)
A new real; A web of lies
A new real; Bold and Green
(Serenity, destiny - a new home)
A new real; A cold machine
Now I know this is not real
I can't trust the way I feel
