Mind.In.A.Box - Evasion lyrics
[Mind.In.A.Box - Evasion lyrics]
Without truth, there is no trust
And without safety, there is no sanctuary
The smoke rolls in over this
City like a glowing blanket
And I am grateful for
The concealment it brings
It protects me from the tormenting view
Of my reflected image in the mirror
But which of the two do I fear more
My capture, or the shame of my own face?
Neon signs flicker through the fog
I am haunted, and I am hunted
By the relentless man in Black
By the consequences of my actions
These cracked streets pave over the dead
Like the flickering screens pave over reality
And no matter how dark the night gets
It never keeps those blank
Faces from their addiction
Their mindless eyes surround me
They pursue me they plague me
They watch the screens
And I watch everything else
Super-computing psycho-social control
A single system running
Planet-wide experiments
It vexes me i've got to
Tear the structure down
I created it if only I knew how
I could destroy it
Where would I call my home tonight?
The old factory? The alley
Behind the strip club?
Maybe the drainage ditch by the docks again
They never seem to search for me there
Super-centralized power in the hands of a few
A single system placing bets with our lives
It curses me i've got
To interrupt the transmission
With a little courage in my dreams
I could destroy it
Black is closing he use to
Be a week behind me
But now he is nearly close enough to smell
With every passing moment
I see his face drawing closer
He is not the type to give up
And he's not the type to forget
And without safety, there is no sanctuary
The smoke rolls in over this
City like a glowing blanket
And I am grateful for
The concealment it brings
It protects me from the tormenting view
Of my reflected image in the mirror
But which of the two do I fear more
My capture, or the shame of my own face?
Neon signs flicker through the fog
I am haunted, and I am hunted
By the relentless man in Black
By the consequences of my actions
These cracked streets pave over the dead
Like the flickering screens pave over reality
And no matter how dark the night gets
It never keeps those blank
Faces from their addiction
Their mindless eyes surround me
They pursue me they plague me
They watch the screens
And I watch everything else
Super-computing psycho-social control
A single system running
Planet-wide experiments
It vexes me i've got to
Tear the structure down
I created it if only I knew how
I could destroy it
Where would I call my home tonight?
The old factory? The alley
Behind the strip club?
Maybe the drainage ditch by the docks again
They never seem to search for me there
Super-centralized power in the hands of a few
A single system placing bets with our lives
It curses me i've got
To interrupt the transmission
With a little courage in my dreams
I could destroy it
Black is closing he use to
Be a week behind me
But now he is nearly close enough to smell
With every passing moment
I see his face drawing closer
He is not the type to give up
And he's not the type to forget
