A Virtual Dream?

A state of anguish

Faintness and fear

A state of sorrow

And no willing ear

Out of the tail of my own eyes

Illusive skies

Bewildering my mind

Endlessly

Strange happenings turn up to scare

Out of thin air

I stare into the space

I'm out of place

Part of the machine

Is all a virtual dream?

As cold as ice in this shade of gray

Illusions that lead you astray

A state of pure grief

Of pain and despair

A state of dark void

Are we aware?

Part of the machine

Is all a virtual dream?

As cold as ice in this shade of gray

Illusions that lead you astray

A fight in trembling and fear

Lost in this alien idea

Can fiction be stranger than reality

Illusions that blind us to see

Deus, deus ex machina

Part of the machine

Is all a virtual dream?

As cold as ice in this shade of gray

Illusions that lead you astray

Deus, deus ex machina
