kaleidoskope

Lyrics

While you pretend you need shelter from the raging sound of light
It’s just the echo from the rain and you are hiding from the fight
If you run from thunder like you run when you see blood
Then life will knock you down and leave you sprawling in the mud

Still don’t get what you’re waiting for
You seem unfazed while you keep the score
A pack of wolves right in your backyard
You watch tv through the change of guard

Blackout your conscience and ease your mind on selfish schemes
Blackout your memory and pray a greater god for better dreams

Will you let the blindfold shepherds safely lead to the shed
While all the perfect preachers will promise you wine and bread
Trading dimes in golden temples for the strangest dream
Now you trust in all the gurus that sell you self-esteem

Don’t try, don’t hide, don’t talk, don’t run away from the rain
True lies, bright lights, tv screens, you just can´t feel the pain
Time flies, kids grow, money talks and people are still starving
Be proud, not vain nor futile, this world is not evolving

Blackout your conscience and ease your mind on selfish schemes
Blackout your memory and pray a greater god for better dreams
