Lyrics
Is the dream still alive? Still the image of perfection?
Sweet little delight, a happy disaster, an easy lie?
Well, sometimes hurt befriends rejection.
It’s kinda rich, I know, when you’re the one denied.
Is this a role or disguise, seeking mercy in creation.
Just another device or truly a time when we will rise,
oh one and all, to the occasion
and bridge the gap to see the other side?
Where day and night become vertigo,
you still light up my soul like a burning halo.
Where, wrong or right, we go on with the show,
looking for something more, chasing echoes.
Are you really surprised to hear the daydream shop went bankrupt,
truly beside yourself cos the carnival closed down.
When the show suddenly stops,
no matter how much you’ve got, it’s still cold out here alone.
Where day and night become vertigo,
you still light up my soul…
Here we go shamelessly courting the vices, the virtues, the trifles
until we bring down the world
Pleasure highs within meanings lost,
looking for a quick fix, fulfilment fast lane.
Pleasure lies about the cost
of keeping the dream alive… alive…
Where day and night become vertigo,
you still light up my soul...
