Down the road the heat lightning fills the air
Deep inside, I feel something is not there
Despair is a sentiment that I have
Long grown out
But these isolated times still remind me
About my childish thoughts that still prevail
Watching strobing bolts all around me
Remind me of my life in detail
I’m in this
As a solipsist
In a Matrix
Alone in consciousness
Living in a simulation
Tends to become rather bland
Hack myself into the system
Shredding my world by my hands
So who are you? What am I? Is existence just a lie?
No, you can't even prove that this world is not just you
As a child, I'd go blank drowning in my own think-tank
If I died, would I wake as a fetus and retake
My life the same again, forgetting all my deeds and sins
Not knowing reality is an endless rerun and
Nothing out the mind is a certain truth
And if it's all imagination, then what's the use?
I’m in this
As a solipsist
In a Matrix
Alone in consciousness
Living in a simulation
Tends to become rather bland
Hack myself into the system
Shredding my world by my hands
It’s okay. You’re not there. Everything will be repaired
Once I resurrect and then the cycle will reset
Now hush; lend an ear. No need to have a fear
This gun against your head is just a figment up in here
I can justify all the things I say and do
Because I am the only one who has a fucking clue
So close your eyes and don’t resist as I blow a hole
This realm in which I live I am the only soul
I’m in this
As a solipsist
In a Matrix
Alone in consciousness
Living in a simulation
Tends to become rather bland
Hack myself into the system
Shredding my world by my hands
