Opium Lyrics - Threshold

Lost in the haze so far away how can we get back home 

Lost in the haze so far away who's going to guide us home 

I've struggled to get near it to backwards engineer it 

But all I find is a smoke and mirror game 

The recondite monopolise the airwaves 

Till all believe there is no other way 

And this is how we live our lives our opium is televised 

Till finally they watch us fade away 

Our lifeless generation is going to the wall 

A languid demonstration of daze before a fall 

A preconceived condition imagined long ago 

But will we ever know all that lies below 

They'll print it on the front page to synthesise an outrage 

But all we find is a decoy once again 

Duplicity and trickery surround us 

Till all believe there is no other way

And this is how we fall asleep their opium is running deep 

Till finally they watch us fade away 

Our lifeless generation is going to the wall 

A languid demonstration of daze before a fall 

A preconceived condition imagined long ago 

But will we ever know all that lies below 

Waiting to play are we the pawns in this game 

Paving the way watching the kings make their claim 

Martyrs and spies although we don't realise 

Falling away under the watch of their eyes 

This is the way we've chosen to be 

This is the road that we go down 

As clear as the day but still we don't see 

We'll only know when it's over 

Lost in the haze so far away how can we get back home 

Lost in the haze so far away who's going to guide us home

And this is how our nation died our opium has satisfied 

And finally they watch us fade away 

Our lifeless generation is going to the wall 

A languid demonstration of daze before a fall 

A preconceived condition imagined long ago 

But will we ever know all that lies below
