You see the lights grow dim, The movie is about to begin… What do you see? What’s that? Oh, your eyes haven’t adjusted to reality yet, Ok then, wait a while Do you see it now? The eye, With it’s piercing sapphire gaze, And black, formless pupil You feel yourself mesmerized, Drawn in, Conquered, By the all-seeing eye You don’t like this? It makes you feel like you have no control? Then tell me, How much control did you ever really have? This next scene takes place On a desolate highway, Somewhere north of somewhere else, Somewhere south of somewhere dead The highway is dry and deserted, The eagle swoops across the scorching sun, The hitchhiker wanders aimlessly, Hoping for a ride he knows will never come For every step the hitchhiker takes, The eagle mimics his movement, Then a single feather glides down before the hitchhiker, He takes it and sits down with it awhile Now is when the insanity starts, But please do not get up and leave, Do not scream, do not cry, Do not run, do not fly This will not take long, We only need your identity, Personality, Face and name Yet again the scene shifts, Another time, another place, Another mind, another face, Another love to corrupt with our emotionless ambition You’re crying, whatever is wrong? Is the truth scaring you? Are you satisfied with your shallow meaningless existence? Don’t you ever think that maybe life is more than just love and hate? The image on the screen is fading, The movie is coming to an end, The credits roll, Every name is yours You see the lights get brighter, The movie has faded away forever…
