A Dim Illusion Lyrics


(Lyrics: Daniel R. Flys)

We had too much to bear

When held down to our knees

Waves of misinformation washed away our dignity

Their finger strings were as thin as the air we’re breathing

Our sense of free will was banished into eternity

Like moths to flames we attend to scarcity

We fight a war of quantity over quality

Confined inside the acts of our own delusion

We live in the era of knowledge of our own destruction

The fog dimming the sight of the ocean

Has made me question my solitude

They made us think that we were different

Yet we all feel the same

[Solo: Jaime Torres]

Look through my eyes

and see the disconnect

Look through these eyes

and feel the bitterness

Of this new world

Oh, brave new world

And we were born again

Into this brave new earth

We ate and bred until our senses choked

To nurture ourselves from our undying greed

Some might say it was destiny

But how could I have felt so alone

With all these faces gazing back at me?

I’ve lost sight of the things that matter most

All in favor of this brave new world

We had too much to bear

When we did as they pleased

A wave of fear obscured our sense of community

Their finger strings were as sly as the colors running

Our rationale was banished into eternity

[Solo: Jaime Torres]
