Lyrics
Reality in dreams ? D.Chopin/L.Neesham
We sought reality in dreams
and in our ignorance it seemed
We were the first to understand
Through Huxley?s doors we found a truth
And with the insolence of youth
believed it was the perfect plan
And we alone got see the way,
and we alone could heal mistakes
The old before us had all made
To nurse our comfort and our greed
While watching poorer people bleed
Too far away for us to care
To near for us to be aware
We thought reality was real
And in the making of a dream
We failed to take a look around
It?s all to easy to ignore
It?s not our problem anymore
Too much to do to stay aground
So if we secretly regret
and it?s with envy we forget
why we don?t learn from our mistakes
we gave them all we never had
Why can?t they settle and be glad
For all the sacrifices made
Yet we?d all love to take their place
We found reality in dreams
In old selective memories
When we were players in the game
Sat in Mark Elliots easy chair
Where we no longer have to care
Wether or not we were to blame
We wonder if we should repent
But we conveniently forget
Those things that cannot be undone
To nurse our comfort and our greed
We let the poorer people bleed
Too far away for us to care
Too near for us to be aware
We sought reality in dreams
We thought reality was real
We found reality in dreams
