What if perceptions were only deceptions? a blanket of optical comfort, this place, a world imagined, a reality fashioned clues to conclude a curious case
A look in the mirror so suddenly a fear you're not something you thought you once were a startling conclusion, a wall of illusion You're trying to escape the spell you've been under. . .
Theres nothing to wake up to now You're stuck like a rat in a cage Reality just wont allow For you to turn the page
In glorious endeavor, you contemplate \"forever\", The colors and the sounds such a beautiful display. You drink up, you drop out, but you'll find nothing without A deeper understanding, and so you drift away
Your family and your friends say your happiness depends upon the life that you lead. But how could they have known You wish to break these chains so that you might be freed
Theres nothing to wake up to now You're stuck like a rat in a cage Reality just wont allow For you to turn the page
Spiral downward, spiral downward...
I like it They repulse me This light will blind And what will I find?
I'll tell you the truth when I come back down And you won't like it, you won't make a sound Because you'll never be ready to hear
You'll drive me back up like I was before You'll close the blinds and you'll lock the door Because you won't have a word I say
Theres nothing to wake up to now You're stuck like a rat in a cage Reality just wont allow For you to turn the page
