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]
