Vast Illusion - A Little Box lyrics

A fierce knock was waking me up that night Drowsy eyes opened up as I turned on the light A scorched smell in the air that kept undefined A man in front tells me that I have to hide So I went back, just to grab my keys And out the window I saw a crowd trying to flee Shouting and yelling followed them down the street Somehow I thought I must be caught in dreams Certainly I understood that I was not Across the house I discovered a little box Carefully I crossed the street and silently knocked And seconds later I opened up and just got a shock Somehow I hoped I would be in paradise But it seemed to me that it was paralyzed That image is haunting me through every night I wish for nothing more than to feel d**h inside I heard myself dying several times Dark fear is the reason why we're blind Before I give up, losing this fight I keep begging for a reason to stay alive So just help me, leave future behind I cannot go on believing in this life When I know there's no peace to find In a world that's not human inside I will run I will run with you Until we see the truth There is nothing to lose We will be gone We leave it all behind Just this one time Yesterday a man came to me and asked ‘Why the hell does everybody get so mad?' And I didn't know if I should give a guess Though I know that no one else will take a stand And for years we believed there is no d**h In time we will learn and may understand That life will always be a mess So we ignore to hold on to ourselves Everything around us became so vast That at some point I thought we walk back instead You told me we're great, that was a lie I guess Now I sit down to fight absurdity with depth Last night I woke up, a desert inside Peace must have given up this forgotten fight As you lost your trust for what we strive As you lost your trust in what might be right I heard myself dying several times Dark fear is the reason why we're blind Before I give up, losing this fight I keep begging for a reason to stay alive So just help me, leave future behind I cannot go on believing in this life When I know there's no peace to find In a world that's not human inside I will run I will run with you Until we see the truth There is nothing to lose We will be gone We leave it all behind Just this one time
