Act I: Out of Nowhere

Yesterday is over
Stripped of my clearance - fired
I don't know what to do
Haunted by empty faces
Victims of warring madness
If they only knew

Their world's a bloody mess
Some corporate bottom line
I tried to ask and they treat me like a threat,
and they slammed the door behind

Yesterday I walked away into a cold, cold city
So afraid our world today is just a house of lies
"Just believe in what you feel"
They used to say, they used to say
Then out of nowhere
I melt into my busy day

Reaching out in my world
becomes a matter of
connections to the Net
I've locked myself in real good
Investigative research
Looking for what is real

Welcome the brave new world
No light inside my soul
The more I learn, the deeper in I'm drawn
The deeper in I fall

Yesterday I walked away into a cold, cold city
Ain't it strange how wars get waged to sounds of smashing dreams?
"Just believe in what you feel"
They used to say, they used to say
Then out of nowhere
One world! No chance!

Is this the new human race?
A faceless contact with life
Imaginary places stealing all of my time
Is this a test of my faith?
What's to become of my life?
I used to see it so clear,
but now I've lived to see it pass away before my eyes
