[Intro] [Verse] We hold the days of yesterday so tight, and April days with daisies shining bright, the blue we left behind still breathes today, with endless clouds embroidered on their way. We flee into a better past once more, far from a waking world we can't endure, enslaved by their parallel domain, while robots walk beside us in the rain. [Chorus] We live inside a blind and crazy world, where fools are praised and empty flags unfurled, here everything just slowly marches by, even breathing now has got a price. No sun remains to warm a smiling face, just shades of grey that hide it without grace. [Instrumental] [Verse] And so, if I can flee the coming days, I try to keep from living in a haze; we escape into a safer world again, where ancient letters still remain the same. Speaking freely somewhere past the wall that progress once declared essential for all. There, far away from this artificial age, yesterday still lives inside its cage. [Chorus] We live inside a blind and crazy world, where fools are praised and empty flags unfurled, here everything just slowly marches by, even breathing now has got a price. No sun remains to warm a smiling face, just shades of grey that hide it without grace. [Verse] There still is plastic life and sand below, beside the rivers where fake voices flow; there still are days of peaceful, joyful light, sealed in a jar that smells of steel tonight. There still are rubber forests without chains, inside cardboard boxes, all the same. And so, my heart, I'll carry you away, from this world of shadows and mirrored shades. [Instrumental] [Final Chorus] We live inside a blind and crazy world, where fools are praised and empty flags unfurled, here everything just slowly marches by, even breathing now has got a price. No sun remains to warm a smiling face, just shades of grey that hide it without grace.
