Pieter Engelbrecht - Illusion

Open your eyes child
and embrace reality.
A dream.
Created for you and me.
You have no choice my child
but to obey their rules.
We are born not to live.
We are born to die.
Try as hard as you can to break free,
you won't succeed.
Your future is already damned so put down that flag
and follow someone else's lead.
Can you save us
if we leave all of this behind.
Tranquility leads to insanity.
That's why I'll rather stay blind
than to wake up and embrace this reality.

Pieter Engelbrecht
