BREATHE Breathe in the air no one will care and no one will question that this moment means nothing we walk through the storm as the wind and the rain block out our vision we stumble blindly trusting So real in the dark you were so close I reach out to touch you but you shimmer and fade away I stared into the sun burned out my eyes surrendered my vision I can still see you anyway So safe in the dark curled up disconnected from the screaming too afraid to speak or even sing to breathe in so deep fills the lungs sets the world to spinning and it doesn't change a damn thing Darkness has fallen now it's time to breathe WHEN THE MIRROR LIES She is waiting where the sea and sky collide In the mirror there she hides and the longing leaves behind traces where it lands then the spirit reaches out and touches my hand and all I know is that this longing never dies and all I see is the truth when the mirror lies She is floating as I try to catch the sea's faint grin it would be easier to embrace the wind always reaching is as close as I will get but I know the sea never forgets and all I know is that this longing never dies and all I see is the truth when the mirror lies The mirror stares���the mirror lies The mirror stares���the mirror lies The mirror stares���the mirror lies and all I know is that this longing never dies and I can't see where is the truth? when the mirror lies when the mirror lies REMEMBER Feel the dream coming liquid fills your lungs and heart swimming to the surface never lightens never parts But I know this time won't last I see the light fading fast what of these things we've left undone? remember all that has passed is gone The moment assails me and it blocks out all that is real I can't remember all I'm not responsible these images flicker across my minds eye I must remember all I will remember all of this And a fleeting innocence builds it's nest in an empty room tired of the bitter struggle tired of this feeling of impending doom But I know this time won't last I see the light fading fast what of these things we've left undone? remember all that has passed is gone remember all that has passed is gone I will remember this I will remember this I will remember this |
SHIP Ship arrives tomorrow then I will be free but I just don't know where I'm going I guess I'm going home to put this beast to rest to close the door on all these things left screaming I will run take me as I am Yeah I'm going home to put this beast to rest no one can close the door only I can ship's above the sky and you are free to fly but you will never be as free as I am I will run take me as I ..... I will dance in the rain I will run take me as I am Ship is leaving��It's leaving the beast is leaving A REASON FOR LIVING It takes a certain kind of madness to let twisted vision reign and the memory of this sadness still echos in my brain all these feeling move about they seem so real Unforgiven, is all that I feel You left me cold you left me frail and unforgiven and I know this feeling well a reason for living The promise lies broken sometimes we are poisoned by our dreams It's timeless, enduring as blood watch me bleed - for you And now I'm cold and now I'm frail and unforgiven and I've learned this lesson well a reason for living I am free - but I am still captured you are gone - but I am still enraptured as far as you go - as much as you know as high as you climb - you are mine You feel my breath in your ear I can taste your fear dining all the time-you are still mine as far as you go-as much as you know as high as you climb-you are mine until I cut the strings until ..... ![]() CONTEMPLATING THE SKY I feel the anger come 'round again It's seething under my skin I'm far away I can't cause any harm I've got my hate to keep me warm The sky is falling the sky is falling the sky is calling to me the sky is screaming the red sky is screaming the sky is screaming to me Kill the nightmare kill the time out of thin air and into my mind I've always seen the lies in front of me I choose my own reality The sky is falling the sky is falling the sky is calling to me the sky is screaming the red sky is screaming the sky is screaming to me Chicken Little had it right Chicken Little had it right Chicken Little had it right |
THIRD STAGE Alone I walk through the fool's paradise the actors standing frozen in the light when I close my eyes I can see myself I close my eyes and it all goes to hell bye-bye Confusion is ever present in this age as one by one the actors take the stage I close my eyes and it spins around I close my eyes and then it is gone The men all cower and the women cry as the jester dances, prances through the night this fool will tell you "everything's all right" but the image fractures when I close my eyes ![]() REBORN And so I climb above this broken, empty shell and find that it's all the same somehow but I will rise from the ashes once again and know I have been reborn But the world keeps turning and I think I'm drowning cannot stop this yearning reborn And so I walk across the ocean 'neath the stars alone never questioning how far I must go until I finally cease to be again I have been reborn But the world keeps turning and I think I'm drowning cannot stop this yearning reborn And so it goes on and on no place to rest, my love I am so weary and so blessed to know "ever after" is a myth again, tragically, I am reborn But the world keeps turning and I know I'm drowning never stop this yearning and I feel and I know I am reborn DREAM QUIETLY We are born in this lonely place dancing on waves forever oh this dance makes the dreamer weep see the light the oceans will burn all for you only for you this dance I must dream quietly Don't speak of dreams you're not the only one speaking aloud destroys me If you sleep keep one eye open watch for the light the oceans will burn all for you only for you my love I must dream quietly We are born in this lonely place dancing on waves forever oh this dance makes the dreamer weep see the light... ![]() |
