Why do I wake to this dream?
perfect bliss while I sleep
caught in this cycle of pleasure and pain
will I drown in my own rain?

Spontaneous ecstasy, please capture me
hold me captive, don't lose your grip
no man rules this land
Paper is our almighty king

Diseased and left for death
what was the purpose of my first breath?
no answers to our questions
we turn to religion
obscurity is the base of its foundation

Put a murderer to his death
I can only laugh at such irony
living in a world of temporary
permanency does not exist, why worry?

Pure silence while I lay
two hands when I pray
people move through this world blind
am I the only one with open eyes?

Look into the mirror, where is my soul?
ponder on this life, what is my goal?
will someone tell me please
why do I wake to this dream?
