Song named after a quote from author Aldous Huxley
lyrics
Today when I left the house
I felt warm ashes on my skin
That fell from a blood-red sky
Covering everything in grey
Embers were dancing in the heat
The air so thick, too hot to breath
But all the people on the street
Acted like nothing happened
And so we carry on like we did before
Riding this dead horse with no remorse
Pretending everything's alright
If we just look the other way
Senses so dulled that we can't feel
Compassion or empathy
Completely unaffected
By our fellow men's misery
And if ignorance is bliss
We are blessed with blissfulness
It's like a race to the abyss
And everybody wants to be the first
And so we carry on like we did before
Turning a blind eye and ignore
Watching the world end from the front row
On widescreen and in stereo
