A song about the sweet pull of unreality, misinformation and emotional escape.

Lyrics

We’re gonna make it again
I have the faith
and it is stronger than that fake of a brain
But it is hard to let go
Of all that artificial candy
Though I think we all know

We can’t afford to go on
Like we do
Even though
The feeling’s ever so sweet

Because the truth is
That we’re
Kind of lost
In the fact
That what we see isn’t real,
No
No
No, no

I was calling
You were kind of falling
But into reverie

I had seen a story
Rang you in a hurry
It was the tale of the century

You calmed me down
And looked around
Surrounded by the golden ground

You asked me to
Come over to you
To share that lucid feeling
Of letting go

I see the world as it is
Or so I thought I did
But somewhere on the way I dismissed
What is considered a fact
Because the notion told me
Everything is just an act

We can’t afford to go on
Like we do
Even though
Feelings keep telling us to

Because the truth is
That we’re
Really lost
And controlled,
Like we are trapped in a zoo
Oooh,
Oooh,
Oooh,

I am lying down
By the side of you
Do I feel it too?

I don’t mind trying
But I’d be kind of lying
If I said I had a clue

So you calm me down
And look around
You’re soaking in this golden ground

You ask me to
Believe in you
And share that lucid feeling
Of letting go

I know
Deep inside
I know that
To be with you
I need to let it go
I wanna be with you
While the world keeps moving on
Leting go

Just you and me
Letting it be
The mess in the world
Letting it twirl

Just you and me
Just letting go
Of this mess of a world
That nobody knows
Anymore
Just you and me
Letting it go
Just you and me
Letting it go
