Analysis of fear is stimulating to some.
the synthetic mystery is another place in history
that we don't exist
but we can't resist
telling all the fairy tales and listen to the fright'ning wails
of the terrified
but you are denied
the readiness is too awake
with every pill we've gotta take
shared memories we hafta fake
i'd steal another, but i'd break
four hours of torture, dear, until your heart just disappears
into the abyss
looking for eternal bliss
you're swimming in straight lines past all the added signs
you forgot your role
you'll pay an endless toll
the readiness is too awake
with every pill we've gotta take
shared memories we hafta fake
i'd steal another, but i'd break.
