The Book – The Wreck (XI) Lyrics

We’re caught in a scheme of time and space
though we found a quantum-mechanical door
that would lead us beyond the frames of our race
if the first line wasn`t painfully true anymore

when humanity awoke
god was not there to take control
and the devil’s father planted a joke
by inventing a self-monitoring soul

the question is simple
but strikes much too deep
into our existential creeps

and no one can say why we
got lost in a world far beyond
our brains and our fears while we see
the surface of the twilightly blinking mind pond

the question is simple
but strikes much too deep
into our existential needs

distracted and overwhelmed
by the reflection of this place
that we can figure out – but where is its end?
we even don’t know if we see a mask or its face

we’re caught in a scheme of time and space
though we found the most giant black holy door
that would lead us beyond the frames of our race
if the first line wasn`t painfully true anymore
