Lyrics

Truth or Lie

Why all this separation from dreams and reality?..
one is a fact and the other?s a fantasy
But who said that?s the way it?s gotta be
?cause when I close my eyes that world?s just as real to me

From the start of time my human family has been painting a picture of reality
How it is and how it works, what?s reasonable and logical
This picture can be beautiful but it?s limited by a frame
When I sleep that frame goes away but when I wake, the dreams I dream
Don?t seem to fit into the boundaries of the world we create

I forget the picture is only a picture and instead I forget my dreams
Boundaries that dared not intrude in my sleep
Now create the truth where dreams seldom dare to tread

What if, what if, what if, in the face of the apparent, I just dared to lie
Risking my sanity and all that rationality, I so proudly proclaim
Could I have the courage to defy the undeniable and
side with my most treasured ideas
Could it be that my lie would speed up the extension of the frame
where I could paint my dreams

I?ve got the courage to lie to myself. What would I lose if I lied to myself?
That lie is also the truth ? I chose as my reality
I?ve got the courage to lie to myself. It really proves that I trust in myself
My conviction will bloom one day into a new reality

I?m on the edge of a new world.
In my dreams I?ve caught a glimpse beyond this place we know
We call reality everything within an arbitrary frame
sitting in the middle of infinity
Human progress gradually extends the frame but that?s not fast enough ?
no not fast enough for my dreams as fleeting as the dream of me

How can I get outside this when this is all I know?
And how do I catch that patch of space where all my dreams can grow?
How can I find new choices and discover unheard of possibilities?
And how do I bridge the gap between what I perceive as real and unreal?

I could start to lie to myself. I won?t get offended when I lie to myself
That lie is really the truth my new reality...my new reality
Perspective determines what?s real and what is not
Take a leap of thought and the universe opens up
