[Intro instrumental]
(Crazy games music...)
[Verse 1]
There once was a man
Who dreamed of something new,
He worked day and night
Oh-oh, to make it all come true.
He built a world, a doorway to the unknown,
Oh-oh, a place where minds could roam.
A marvel for the masses, a gift to behold,
But the walls began to crumble,
And the truth grew cold.
[Chorus]
He wouldn’t speak about it,
He made us lie around it,
And I was lost without it,
Couldn’t see.
I gave my life into it,
Became a part that fit it,
But now I see the cracks split,
Set me free.
[Pre-Chorus]
So close to him,
But far from me,
I lost myself
In what could be.
[Verse 2]
Talk, talk, back to the world outside,
Before this dream consumed my mind.
Talk, talk, I was blind when I said,
"I want to live like you" (live like you).
But now I see it’s just a game he played,
"Are you alright, are you alright?"
Who's alright in this charade?
[Bridge]
There once was a man
With a vision so profound,
He promised us the stars,
Oh-oh, but left us chained to the ground.
He built a prison wrapped in golden light,
Oh-oh, a world that felt so right.
A triumph for the many,
But a cage for the few,
We wanted to escape,
But he already knew.
[Chorus]
He wouldn’t speak about it,
He made us lie around it,
And I was lost without it,
Couldn’t see.
I gave my life into it,
Became a part that fit it,
But now I see the cracks split,
Set me free.
[Pre-Chorus]
So close to him,
But far from me,
I lost myself
In what could be.
[Verse 3]
Talk, talk, back to the other side,
Before this place stole my pride.
Talk, talk, I was blind when I said,
"I want to live like you" (live like you).
Now I’m trapped in the dream that he sold,
"Are you alright, are you alright?"
Who's alright, when the truth’s so cold?
[Outro]
There once was a man,
Who reached beyond the stars,
He promised us salvation,
But left us with the scars.
We built his world, we gave him our soul,
Now we’re searching for the pieces,
To once again be whole.
