lyrics

There’s no way for me to escape
Many roads - all closed
The end.
‘Hope’ traffic signs removed and broken
Possibilities exhausted

I turn around in circles
I need some help
Everyone says they have it
No one gives..

They don’t know what it is
They don’t know how it works
But they keep it as a bait
Right in front of my face
Keep entrapping me!

Promises of better days..
Keep delaying
Denial of truth
I drown deeper..

"This will change your life:
Try to dye your blood in blue"
Promises, promises..
Bang my head against the brick wall
(In my head.. against the brick wall..)

You keep promising an easy cure
Prescribe a perfect pill for this
Ants hoping to turn into giants
Suicidal temptation- a sweet release..

Crash into cracked bloody glass
Like a blinded fly
Go against the odds
Bet it all!
..but the House always wins..


Blue blood never spills
We’re losing our war

I pull myself together
Maybe this time it will work
The brick wall stays the same
Right where it was
Well maybe there’s nothing on the other side?
Maybe we’re caged animals
Not understanding our true purpose?

We all run for cover
Just to end up in a dead end
The only escape route
Leads us nowhere but the cul-de-sac

We believe we have a free will
Free choice and decisions are made (only) by us
But wherever you turn
Wherever you go
You realize, you go in circles
And here it begins..

Where is your freedom
When you’re rotating like a spinning top?
Although we don’t want to admit it
We’ll all end up where we want to be the least

You love your fun ride
I hate simulated adrenaline rush

All we can see from this cage is a sky
Birds that fly freely
But where do they land?
All that view gets us nowhere
It just can give another naive hope -
Escape to the cul-de-sac..
