  • 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
