Just
a
few
ancient
questions
left.
Mr.
L.
What
the
hell
is
real?
Who
am
i
and
why
not?
Why
donât
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.
Mama.
Yoursâ¦
Voight-Kampff.
[A. GHOSTS]
Drifting In a world I donât belong
I miss her, how can i face this life alone?
I do remember
Like it was yesterday
You and me together
Back in a different age
Reaching for the ghosts haunting my mind
Dreaming of the ones I left behind
Hopeless⦠there is nothing I can do
Knowing I can never be with you again
[B. DEAD OR ALIVE]
Why did you bring me back?
Like a lab rat in a maze
Am i dead or alive?
With all these wires stuck in my brain
Why did you wake me up?
Locked in this virtual jail
Why was I revived?
Is this all some game?
Lost in this maze
Locked in this brain
So this is the endâ¦
Why did you bring me back?
Like a lab rat in a maze
Or maybe a start
Am I dead or alive?
With all these wires tuck in my brain
So what happens nowâ¦
Why did you wake me up?
Locked in this virual jail
Canât find a way outâ¦
Why was i revived?
Is this all some game?
[C. SYNTHETIC STATE OF CONSCIOUSNESS]
I could decide to stay here
And dream on forevermore
To live without the danger
And the fear I felt before
A life devoid of sadness.
No more suffering and pain
In a realm of make-believe
Within the limts of my brain
But can I really fool myself
(could I thrive inside this lucid dream?)
Into believing Iâm still me
(in this mind-machine technology)
A synthetic state of consciousness
(could I be a part of this New Real?)
I am therefore I think
Could I dream forevermore
Without the fear I felt before
Thereâll be no suffering and pain
Within the confines of my brain
[D. BLISSFUL IGNORANCE]
[Instrumental]
[E. A SECOND CHANCE?]
I remember dying
Fading into black
I remember dreaming
Of a second chance
The New Real â a paradise?
Inviting â exciting â a new home
The New Real â a web of lies?
Confusion â delusion â I am alone
The New Real â a golden dream?
Serenity â my destiny â a new home
The New Real â a cold machine?
Mistaken â forsaken â I am alone
[F. SWITCH ME OFF]
Please switch me off
I am sure now
I donât belong
In this New Real
Please shut me down
I am fine now
Thanks for the dream
You can switch me off
Now I know this is not real
I canât trust the way I feel
Iâm alive⦠but in a dream
Am I only⦠a machine?
