lyrics

it all begins with the curtains being opened
curtains made of yellowed paper
to show us a boy
waving at the timelines passing by on the lego brick road
he's in search of the golden truth outside the walls of his fortress of solitude
after being fed up with being afraid of what he needs the most

take a plunge take a deep breath to find out about
secret origins
turn the page let the record spin for it all to unravel
secret origins
secret origins

bitten by a radioactive loser
wishing he wasn't chosen
”with no power comes no responsibility”

through the subconscious wasteland he goes
to pinpoint the turning point
the downward spiral
storybook logic doesn't work here
there is no fourth wall for you to lean on
this quest to find the one's to blame
made worthless by the mirror
your career as an escape artist seems to be over

sent to earth on a rocketship
from an exploding planet
”what would your species think of you now?”

the cerebral falls and the nerve system forest
echo with the things that he just cannot forget
the beatings and prosecutions that lead him here
there is no black and white
stop pretending to be blind
forget black and white
so please stop pretending to be blind
