lyrics

i caught a glimpse of what it could be and what it would be like. then i hit turbulence and the wheels touched ground again. back in reality i realized that we’ve lost the trail, otherwise i don’t get why we’re accepting all of this. we’ve become bystanders of catastrophes, onlookers of extinction, the coastguards of floods, the hosts of selfinfliction. a generation too selfish, too greedy, too busy consuming to cope with what we can’t stand... so that at some stage we lost the plot. we live with eyes wide shut and we’ll die with eyes wide shut. i’m screaming for an awakening and i’m screaming for a change. with eyes wide shut we wander through our everydays, where ignorance is bliss we’ll never see things change. we’re so overwhelmed and mainstream-media fed, we’ve become deaf to the screams and the noise of suffering. but firstly, let me summarize the facts for you in order to retrace our steps right to where we went wrong.

guest vocals by greg bennick: but i always did what i was told? let myself forget that those who I’d already seen grow old often seemed to die long before their final breath. the cruelest fate is that no good things come to those who wait. and to die? but i never even tried. i gave up everything just to be the same. and now at the end I have only myself only myself to blame.
