brick by brick

by Matthias L. - Capricorn

in a world of cliches we've grown used to
 we suddenly sense there is a chance
to overcome the walls
 the lies
   the supersonic imagery
 the black-against-white battle hymns
disinformation to sink our ships
 on the way to the other side

but does it stop there?
 will it end?
will our opened mouths relase a voice
 calling for the same
  downright rotten ideals
freedom                              exploitation
 justice                       malice
  liberty                         poverty               
              all the same
                just now
 a nice decoration for those in power
  whoever they may be
faceless demons
 with the best in mind
  for us
 for us
for themselves

I do know no more
 in this episode of money
of mastery
   or alternate beliefs
 carnival of carnage
   or cultural clash
 whatever you call it
  we're on the right side
I know that I am
  afraid not to be alone
 with someone I can rely on

  speak to me, goal-attainment talks
 magical mushrooms carried by a voice
   megalomania
fast-food for thought
   bearing the all-purpose-drug
                  called 'mass psychosis'
  subconscious fear
   so much better than 
 the admittance of brainwash departments

keep talking, for me
  maybe I'll realize
 don't sigh... be silent

a dream I've forgotten 
  is losing its shape

 I wish I could weep for it
could be sad for a while

   wish I could live 
     in a world
 where make-believe goes in hand
    with fate
