The Meteor Shower - Kingdom Of Ends (feat. Steve Hunt on vocals)

Looking on through an opaque lens
We're looking on to the Kingdom of Ends
Where destiny is in the mind's eye
Metaphysics and a kingdom of lies

Here we dance to the beat of a drum
Where life is maths and the answer's just a sum
Are we all who they once supposed
Or are we dressed in the Emperor's new clothes

How can you stand here?
So cynical and so surreal
There's madness around here
The way it is you can't reveal
A cheap simulacrum
An abstract kingdom of ends
But life's in the real world
This blueprint, it makes no sense

Looking forward through a foggy lens
Looking up to the Kingdom of Ends
The lotus eaters in cafes and bars and
Purple prose and reflections of the past

Welcome citizens to our new world
Model workers, the future's been unfurled
In reality I'm not so sure
We're model soldiers in a make-believe world war

How can you stand here?
So cynical and so surreal
There's madness around here
The way it is you can't reveal
A cheap simulation
An abstract kingdom of ends
But life's in the real world
This blueprint, it makes no sense
