After Forever - Through Square Eyes lyrics

(Child) This is the world through square eyes, I can see fiction like it's real Window to an unknown paradise A paradise where no one sees I wish I saw it all, A paradise where no one knows, all these images for real, the reality It's a seduction, like a dream I can feel pain, I feel the blood Out of your hands but in your minds The fire of the burning fight I wish I saw it all, I feel love as a disease, all these images for real, in my fantasy (Contemplative) Good or evil, right or wrong Find yourself between the dying crowd, the blooded streets How can't this affect a mind How can't this affect a pure, young heart (Child) In my own world it's getting worse It's never good enough for them Learn this, do that, do as we say As if results are all there is It doesn't affect me much, I cannot be more than I am, the screen shows me enough, face reality I can play I'm strong and tough And let them feel who should be blamed Fighting and k**ing for new lives A way to learn how to survive I can play on and on, it ends up just the same again but my life is not a game, life should be a game (Contemplative) Good or evil, right or wrong Find yourself between the dying crowd, the blooded streets How can't this affect a mind How can't this affect a pure, young heart (Child) Hope is fragile, and all there is to make them see I'm not that bad Hope is the last reason not to flee, not to run away into the tempting square world of fantasy, free me Oh, free me Hate is an impulse Your aversion, my reason (Contemplative) Games, movies, things a child should not see A flash; see, but you won't forget A game; play, play and hear and see, again It marks the heart and spills our youth (Child) I'm in the world of square minds The beauty of a clearer world Fighting a game, its name is life The game of life is hard to fight I've shot my hate today, you'll know the causes when it's too late its embodiment has paid, feel reality The pictures say more than you see Why should I see what you've told me Nothing gets worse, it stays the same The same is k**ing, anyway I wish I saw it all, so could you please let me escape all these images for real from reality (Contemplative) Good or evil, right or wrong Find yourself between the dying crowd, the blooded streets How can't this affect a mind How can't this affect a pure, young heart?
