Dreaming of You

I had a dream
of an island life
where you were the star attraction
Everyone smiled
and their tears they flowed like rivers
And so we floated on with them
I had a dream
where you were there, just waiting for me
under the brightest blue sky
Smiling so brightly
you looked just like a picture
The picture that I was about to take
I had a dream
that the architecture of tomorrow
was being constructed by you
And there you were
gazing at the stars and moon
as people drove by in their cars
I had a dream
that even though your hands were frozen
you were still smiling at me
But now as we climb
toward the mountaintop
I see it was all just a dream

Apathy
03:06
|

|
I've been asleep
falling so deep
away from the world created for me
I never cared
for sentiments shared
I question the reasons taken to be
The walls you built
are crumbling down
The flowers you planted
are turning brown
Your world is slowly
being eaten away
by apathy . . .
I close my eyes
and reach for the sky
in search of the answers waiting for me
I've made my mark
to live in the dark
I cannot believe in what I can't see
The walls you built
are crumbling down
The flowers you planted
are turning brown
Your world is slowly
being eaten away
by apathy . . .
Can you perceive reality?
Do you believe in sanctity?
Will you return to Christianity?
or will you give in to apathy?

Speak — read my diary
Here is the path you'll take
Love — the force inside me
All for goodness' sake
Sing — the world that should be
Everything in its place
Time — don't be disheartened
It's all just a test of faith
Can't I free myself from this
and build a world of ignorant bliss
I have seen your selfish designs
wishing all the while to be blind
Wait — before the quelling
We do it every day
Hold — renew the armour
There always is a way
Look — a declaration
Someone's on our side
Come — and be a preset
Never be denied
Can't I free myself from this
and build a world of ignorant bliss
I have seen your selfish designs
wishing all the while to be blind
The journey has begun
I release my hold
It's no one's right but mine
my path to unfold
I push away the past
and wonder at the words of the week
The truth has been revealed
Silent are the words
that we should speak
It's not your fault
that there's something "wrong" with me
Look through these eyes
There's no contrast there to see
I am not blind
I know it's there
for some, but not me

The Gateway Arch
04:37
|
|||
|
I thought that we were one
The unspoken act need not be done
All of my truth turned to fiction
Broken apart by conviction
If you start to doubt, do I get left out?
If you have moved on, then where have I gone?
Brush back your hair so I can see you
Open your eyes so I can see through
Flash me a smile so that I'm reassured (reassured)
but it's not the smile that you once wore
If I start to doubt, have you been ruled out?
If I can't move on, then where have you gone?

(The Invisible On-Looker)
You see only what you wanted to dream up
Now it's time to recognize
You've been looking for a slight
but everything was always right
Take the lenses from your eyes
and see the light . . .
(The Receiver of Mixed Emotions)
I've been waiting for a million years
for a dream to sweep me off my feet
and help me feel complete
Now that I have cast my shadow through the door
If here I do remain
I'll wait a million more
(The Protector Who Harms)
You've been trying to break on through
but if you close your eyes
there's nothing you can do
And when you see what it costs
no one will know what you've lost
except for you — it's true
(The Helpless Victim of Binding Subjectivity)
Far away I ran from the well
Far from reality and myself
until I found there's nothing left
to run from (to run to)
I'll begin (I will begin) to make amends (to make amends)
with the end . . .
(The Invisible On-Looker)
Now you see what it means
when you hide away from reality
and you live within your dreams for so long . . .
. . . you've been so wrong
(The Receiver of Mixed Emotions)
I'm not waiting for another day
when there's worlds to see and understand
and things still left to say
I don't want to hurt you if I raise my voice
But what else can I do?
I guess I've made my choice
(The Helpless Victim of Binding Subjectivity)
Everything comes crashing down
and now I feel the full effect
of my neglect for you
And everything I figured up so long
was just a fantasy
. . . I've been so wrong
