Bram Cools: everything

lyrics

This precious virtual hideout
Is not really an escape from the cave
It’s only a new layer of shadows
And more shadows of shadows

With no actual connection left
Between all of our human constructs
And any real deeper Reality
A badly copied picture with no original

Can I say that I’m tired of this game
I’m sort of losing my substance
In the quicksand of this thoughtfield
Where our creations clash and burn

Meanwhile serious stuff is happening
In the actual world, material and beyond
But I’m stuck in an illusion
And in illusions of illusions

Beyond our self-fulfilling prophecies
And law of attraction manipulations
The things that fill our vision
Claim our allegiance and suck our energy

Can I say that I’m tired of this game
I’m sort of losing my coherence
In the quicksand of this thoughtfield
Where our creations clash and burn

And yet I have a longing
A longing for a longing
Of the Reality beyond these shadows
And shadows of shadows
