about

This song is a very long companion of mine, but never the less it is still very important to me, because there are so many requirements, that tear us away from the really essential things of life.

lyrics

It's culture we're proud of
While we declare ourselves able to love
We do our duty, do our jobs
Call it the pride of creation

But we're only left behind
Just an abandoned big experiment
We close our eyes and don't dare to see
How we depend on everything – hopelessly

In my luxury cyber-AI-Prison
I always hoped on one single chance
That one day they finally open the door
With the kill to kill my boredom

But still my life keeps passing by
Like my tears of frustration run out dry
Doubt and shuffle's all I do
Is there anyone who can help me through?

My cry chucks in possibilities
Of where my way could lead me to
They say "Hey, carry it like a man
you should know by now where you belong!"

Think I should attack the system
Try to change it from within
Into the roar of all the stupid
I shut my mouth and start to feel
They're just

Stealing time
Slipping away with each ticking of the clock
While you feel you're getting older
And your heart turns back to dust
Still, it's just
Wasted time
Praying for sense on a long forgotten island
A forsaken fool 's dry land
Throwing life just like a bone
