Lost in the New Real

Drifting in a world i don’t 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

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 end…

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 now…

Why did you wake me up?

Locked in this virual jail

Can’t find a way out…

Why was i revived?

Is this all some game?

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 i’m 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

There’ll be no suffering and pain

Within the confines of my brain

I remember dying

Fading into black

I remember dreaming

Of a second chance

The new real – a paradise?

Inviting – exciting – a new home

The new real – a web of lies?

Confusion – delusion – i am alone

The new real – a golden dream?

Serenity – my destiny – a new home

The new real – a cold machine?

Mistaken – forsaken – i am alone

Please switch me off

I am sure now

I don’t 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 can’t trust the way i feel

I’m alive… but in a dream

Am i only… a machine?
