Anthems of Isolation - Shelter In A Painful Escapism lyrics

To the land of deceptive joy I escape chased by the past's haunting shadows Intentionally I fall into the beauty of a fake world In a nostalgia-like state, I long for... a torment that lies beneath a shroud of delusions My haunting shadows... In you I seek a trace For Im deluded by my own sanity Yesterday's realities are the imaginations of tomorrow In a lies-filled emptiness.. Under the dominion of hopelessness.. Drifting to the day the light shivered Living the denial, resisting the acceptance [spoken] the land of joyous deception My haunting shadows... In you I seek a trace Decept me Drown me in lies Take me away ..where I belong away to that land. [spoken] But.. still I wonder, over again.. Should I stay there and bear that pain ? Or should I run away from my own escapism ? Have you ever felt you can escape yet still imprisoned ?? Have you ever been aware something's poisoned yet still want to taste it ?? A life is lost.. A future.. foretold and dead The daylight will not return No.. will not return And the kingdom of the past shall reign forever..
