Cartesian Dreams

We shake, we bake
We wanna have it all
But it's all in the hands of fate
We ache, we take
We wanna suck it up, but damn the luck
Reality asphyxiates

Tell me, have you ever been curious?
Why our lovely plans turn out so strange
Something isn't right
And will it make you feel furious
To find your precious pain was all insane

'Cause we walk, walk in a dream
We scheme and we plan
We plan and we scheme
What we think we know is a joke
Because after all
Baby, it's all Cartesian dreams

You like thrills, big chills
Yon wanna snap it up, lap it up
Like it's a pill
So, you fight the night
But you can't comprehend the bitter end
Just fold onto itself again

Tell me, don't you think that it's dangerous
To search for meaning in this life?
What do you think we'd see?
Don't you know it's insane for us
To look for any reason in reality?

We walk, walk in a dream
We scheme and we plan
We plan and we scheme
What we think we know is a joke
Because after all
Baby, it's all Cartesian dreams

'Cause we walk, walk in a dream
We scheme and we plan
We plan and we scheme
What we think we know is a joke
Because after all
Baby, it's all Cartesian dreams

'Cause we walk, walk in a dream
We scheme and we plan
Baby, it's all Cartesian dreams
'Cause we walk, walk in a dream
We scheme and we plan
Baby, it's all Cartesian dreams
