In this story that Arjen wrote himself, doctors are trying to find a way to help a girl who is in a coma. In this state she begins to fantasize about some stranger. He could be dangerous, or harmless, or just a magician. The stranger tells her that she can cure herself using her own imagination, and...
Lost in a world created by man
I can't recall how it all began
Tell me, who am I?
Fictional stars in lost galaxies
Synthetic dreams and false memories
Is this all a lie?
There is no escape
(There is no way out of here)
I'm locked in this universe
(The real world will disappear)
Where fantasy dies
(You will see your dreams)
Material lies
(Materialize)
Computer eyes
(Computerize)
Virtual reality, computer override
Actual fantasy, locked away inside
Am I no more than a program?
An artificial dream?
A river of electrons flowing with the stream?
A parallel dimension, battle simulations
Mind over matter, brain stimulation
I don't know if I exist. I think therefore I am
Without emotions, I'm but a hologram
There's no escape!
I'm locked in this universe
Where fantasy dies
Material lies
Computer eyes
There is no escape
(There is no way out of here)
I'm locked in this universe
(The real world will disappear)
Where fantasy dies
(You will see your dreams)
Material lies
(Materialize)
Computerize...
