Touch the fire and you will burn, see the sky and it's blue
Feel the wind and it is cold ... See your own hands!
Nothing is certain in this life, you can’t see through this fog
Don’t you have the doubt that it’s only a trick, only an illusion?
Ex Nihilo Nihil Fit, Ex Nihilo Nihil Fit
"Have you ever had a dream that you were so sure was real?
What if you were unable to wake from that dream?
How would you know the difference between the dream world and the real world?"
This world is not perfect so you can waste all your life
Trying to change it never understanding it’s not real
Your life is just a game, someone is playing with you
But the only one who lose is you!
Do you feel, your life is not yours?
You have been tricked
Do you feel, do you feel, your fate is already decided?
How can you say you are here and not a puppet in a God’s hands?
Or a brain in a vat? Or just a pixel in a screen?
Free your mind and understand this is a dream
Where you are lost!
You can’t get out, they control you letting you see
What you want to see!
This is a cage, there are no doors, everything is a lie
Everything is fake!
This is a film, just a simulation
But who is the director?
Cogito ergo sum, cogito ergo sum
"You are a slave, born into a prison that you cannot smell or taste or touch
A prison for your mind. Welcome ... to the real world!"
COGITO ERGO SUM!
How can you say you are here and not a puppet in a God’s hands?
Or a brain in a vat? Or just a pixel in a screen?
Touch the fire and you won’t burn!
See the sky and it’s not blue! Clean this fog!
Feel the wind, feel the wind and it’s not cold!
We are all brains, brains in a vat!

I'm a big fan of The Faceless middle two albums and when I saw Lyle Cooper was on this album I knew I needed to check it out. I bought the discography almost instantly, reminds me a little of The Faceless and a bit more of Fallujah who I also adore. Well worth the money, Support these great Musicians! dragonslayer8228
