Paul: I am only dreaming
There is light and sound
There is love and fear
But I feel so lost
And I feel so betrayed.
Deep down I know
That they have burned
every bridge that I must cross
To get back home.
I am a machine
I am only a flicker of a man

So let me tell you why you're so right
And you'll tell me why I'm so wrong
I'm sick and tired of your lies
And being pushed so close
To the bottom

If you ask for all that I have
And I've given everything
Please tell me what is left for me.
If I have given you my love
And you have eaten all my trust
Then what is left for us?

I am a machine.
I am a vessel.
I am only the flicker of a man.
See the eyes
So tired,
They define all I am
And all that I will ever be.


This is where my hopes are broken
Where my fears become reality.
Where the nightmare becomes my truth
and the flash from the gun
Casts images from the reels of my youth.
