From the vinyl liner notes:
“My first extended interaction with Kevin Pereira took place on camera.
As you can imagine, a televised interview isn’t necessarily the best prism through which to know someone. It’s impossible to differentiate between who you’re seeing-the identity or the individual. I...
My spirit has been drifting for years
In secret, as a narrative appeared
In plain sight...
The fiction forced the truth to imitate
An identity I hoped could entertain
But the valley between who I am
And who I want you to see
Is too vast to bypass, so I'll keep
Deluding myself into illusion
[Chorus]
Will no one witness me?
Do I exist, or did I fall into darkness?
Deceit or mystery?
Do I resist or did I turn into
Something more illusory?
[Verse 2]
(Join us and watch all the world from afar)
I've been seeking separation
(We're all just the same, yeah, we lost who we are)
Well, my ego completely consumes what it sees
So just send me your scraps, and hide what you need
Oh, I only wish I could keep dreaming...
[Chorus]
Will no one witness me?
Do I exist, or did I fall into darkness?
Deceit or mystery
Do I resist or have I lost it all?
[Bridge]
Join us and watch it fall!
Join us and lose who you are
[Outro]
I only wish that I could...
(Keep dreaming, keep dreaming, keep dreaming, keep dreaming)
