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?
