New paradigm Drifting out of time Existence has turned into an empty space Matter decayed to nothing Existence has turned into an empty space This life we held in highest praise Was only a screenplay All the things we had and touched Will return to dust Speak tell me what you see Give away the nefarious perceptions of your mind Your life couldn't matter more, not all to the human kind Give us your final statement before you stop to breathe A disgusting reflection In front of the mirror A man who lost his face Who wants nothing to face Even this closing door This door is closing, The light is dimming, there's no turning back (Fade Away) Always thought we were the ones Who could aim for the sky and even outshine the sun and stars Instead I'm trapped behind bars Inside this prison of gilded illusions Choosing from what was in fact a delusion Time to rise up from the mud To transcend this flesh and blood
