In this place, I have everything I need
No burning computer screens, no new technology
It all seems so surreal
Memories of days gone by, fading pictures
Fireflies in the night
The sound of something unknown
This is something I never had
The prodigal son has come home
As twilight falls, the sunset glows
Planets appear in the colorful sky
There are no prison walls, no wars, no bloody battles
It's hard to believe that this world is doomed
I wish I could stay for a while
In a world of dreams, created by a synthesizer
And although it all seems so real
Now I'm afraid that time is running out
I feel its heavy weight
Hold on to this moment in time
Enjoy life as it used to be
Hold on to the world in its prime
Breathe in the air, feel the power
