Our future's closed off for good
It's all over, there's no hope in sight
Locked away inside a rolled die
Scream as we might
If we just wait, no one will come to the rescue
Just think, in this place
No one can escape
I saw this in a Canadian movie way back when
Just gonna get killed in this cube of insanity
The river of fate flows on — gotta resist the current now
Turn that unconscious daydream I’d been living
Those illusions of the past into fragile pieces of straw
Linking them ‘til I find my way out
Those guys who laugh at us, calling us insignificant worms
We’ll finish them off
Sitting in my sorrow ‘til I begin to relax
With not even a towel to throw in, I just keep on living
It's like one of those magic cubes I saw way back when
Just waiting for the blade in this square darkness
The river of fate flows on — keep on resisting it
Feigning ignorance, I made my way through
Thinking of the past, I'd lift their chin and stare into their eyes
Pulling them in for a kiss
I take back what I said — I’ll take my music
And knock them down
Because hatred lingers here after all
Unable to run, I just keep on living
Hey, look — the door's open
How about we step out into the light?
The cube just turned out to be a sphere
Engulfed by my fate, I cursed it all
Now, I even grew tired of that
Break free of this absurdity imposed on us by fools
The exit begins to glow
The river of fate flows on — gotta resist the current now
Turn that unconscious daydream I’d been living
Those illusions of the past into cords of rope
Linking them ‘til I find my way out
While laughing off the brevity of life
Just let me dance
Sitting in my sorrow ‘til I begin to relax
We're always gonna be stuck in this endless absurdity -
