lyrics

Imagine:

You don't like what they say and you hate what they do.
You don't fit into their system that's to hard to get through.
No, you don't want to live this way 24/7 just to get this pay.

Like a plant you need watering they want you to dry out,
to keep you from wandering.
In a path you wouldn't take otherwise,
your soul trembles as you gaze in big brother's eyes.

Dr Koul:

Fitting in, unfit for the film you're in
There's a flicker of the fixtures underneath your skin
It's a full-feature futuristic field vision
Farming personalities and attributes to feed the kids.

Which disguise will you fondle to disfigure your soul?
Feeling fingers trying to strangle what you'd been before?
Sold authenticity, the freak conforms
Banished to big-city shadows where freedom performs


Chorus:

And everything you thought that you had to be is really just a fantasy
and everyone is stuck and you have to leave break free from this factory
and every little step you take, takes you closer to a place
you didn't plan to be...
Is it too late to escape from this mastery?
your true face is the master key.


Dr koul:

Who am I, actually, when the mask falls?
Just another back-up dancer in a masked ball?
An impostor with my back to the wall?
My posture is impeccable... Oh, that's what you thought?

But I'm carrying the back pain of twenty years back pay
Tension, fears, sad days hidden under pressures of my last name
and that's the way that my essence is half-erased
I have to chase my true self, through the message of my rap's page

Imagine:

You like to walk sideways,
you listen to your heart you don't care what the mind says.
You're not in the right place,
taking different angles just to find space.

And any way you really wanna be you go for it
the key to being me is what I open with.
Not formed by the norm just a slave to your dreams
sometimes living in a storm is safer than it seems.


Chorus
