Chronicles of the Waking Dream
It's all coming together, finally It’s all coming together The message is clearing out After all this time Our current pattern is too clean to ignore It's everywhere I turn The eyes, the stories of everyone I meet And the memory of all that have come before It is her All this evidence should make it clearer It all hinges on May 26, don't you see Look, look at me May 26, this is key (It’s all coming together) Yeah, I'll show you (I'll show you) It's all coming together (It's all coming together) The angel smiles, and says "She's waiting for someone" (Calm) Calm as a seamless ocean She walks a path yet untrod (The path unmarked by her softest feet) And in my waking dream, I Catch a glimpse of longing in her eyes (Eyes as soft and gentle as a lover's embrace) But she simply smiles again And says "Be gone, trouble me no more" The image fades Her smile remains As vivid and inviting as it ever was But just as clear As her smile remained One thing was certain The angel was The angel was The angel was The angel was gone

Find life in stillness, breath in stone And understand, learn, know what I've known Something in what she whispered to me "My time grows nearer, now leave me be" As the sun's grip slips, the moon watches and learns She was gauging the distance as the clouds' edges burned As the sun's grip slips, the moon watches and learns She was gauging the distance as the clouds' edges burned Edges burnеd As the sun's grip slips, the moon watches and lеarns She was gauging the distance as the clouds' edges burned As the sun's grip slips, the moon watches and learns So here I'll remain, and await her return Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Oh-oh-oh, oh-oh-oh Find life in stillness, breath in stone And understand, learn, know what I've known If you show your faith through gold and silver You'll be rewarded moments with her "Have faith, my children", she whispers to me Her time grows nearer so come join me Find life in stillness, breath in stone Find life in stillness, breath in stone Find life in stillness, breath in stone Find life in stillness, breath in stone Find life in stillness, breath in stone Find life in stillness, breath As the sun's grip slips, the moon watches and learns She was gauging the distance as the clouds' edges burned As the sun's grip slips, the moon watches and learns She was gauging the distance as the clouds' edges burned Edges burned (burned!) As the sun's grip slips, the moon watches and learns She was gauging the distance as the clouds' edges burned As the sun's grip slips, the moon watches and learns So here I'll remain, and await her return Find life in stillness, breath in stone And understand, learn, know what I've known

Tell me, what can you see when When you look over there By the cross on the wall and By the winding stair Adrift in the malice Creeps closer again A mirror hangs off, I I can't help but look through, and look Look back, oh-oh He asks me, "What do you see when When you look in my eyes? In the empty holes, floating Paralyzed See the cross on the wall Hear them chained as they cry Now you remember me Look in my eyes" She asks me, "What do you see when When you look over there By the face in the hall and By the bodies laid bare Now can you see As you sit and you stare They're coming for you now Up the winding stair" Stair One for two up winding stair, invited second wave This tumbling two, this wicked pair make cowards of the brave Driven by desire to inflict pain that never diminishes These tortured, twisted victims of a song that never finishes One for two up winding stair (that never finishes) One for two up winding stair (that never finishes) These twisted victims of a song that never finishes (One for two up ) These twisted victims of a song that never finishes (winding stair ) These twisted victims of a song that never finishes (One for two up ) These twisted victims of a song that never finishes (winding stair ) I'll tell you what I can see when When I meet the cold stare, yeah On the face in the hall, one One that's not yours to wear A weak little creature Pathetic disgrace Twisting the image How dare you use his face? I'll tell you what I can see!

Looking back, it was such a vivid image. I was on my own. Kept thinking she would be waiting for me To go hold her hand, and then I would go play with her. See, I was on my own. She wouldn't make me cry. Wouldn't throw me down on the ground. Wouldn't tell me lies. Not like them. A secret, Since I was nine, Not our little secret, So I have kept it mine. I'll never tell. I was always alone. She could've been my only friend, I was not the one she was waiting for. This secret, I've kept it mine, Her eyes looked for someone else, But that's OK. I'm fine. This secret, I've kept it mine, Her eyes looked for someone else, Along a burning line. I'll never tell. They'll wanna know, But I'll never tell.

Dear you; You know who you are. Thought I wouldn't make it this far, I thought I'd never hear a voice like yours again, Catch myself humming it every now and then, The tune I taught myself to hate, The day I called out, just too late. Like broken matchsticks out of place, She lay cold and lifeless, While I screamed what seemed like silence, At unrelenting rivers of cold and empty eyes. Unrelenting rivers of cold and empty eyes, 'Til mine met yours. But you are there, How could I forget? This was her last day, Was her last day. Until my eyes met yours. A tune broke the silence, I carried with me, A growing crescendo, Soaring ever higher, higher, The rivers and dismissals fade, Into obscurity. I begged you to take me, To take me instead please, Just let her stay please, Take me instead, Please, I begged you to take me instead. But you looked right through me, As she faded away. Forget this. I'm done.

Hold me, want to get lost in your dark black hair Touch me, and the deep frost melts away You are there to comfort me I know you're not her, but for now you'll do Soft eyes search the horizon as her face, not yours, shines through To comfort me To comfort me For the briefest time No solace here, despite the fact that I've let go But for one moment, I remember her Hold me, hold me, hold me

Something hidden deep in the sound The lost blind man's sight found (Oh) Provided with a now, not to be its slave (Oh-oh-oh) Hidden in a moment is the secret she saved Provided with a now, not to be its slave Hidden in a moment is the secret she saved Provided with it then, little secrets that I had craved Hidden in your question's the answer she gave That can't be what I saw (That can't be what I saw) That can't be what I saw (That can't be what I saw) That can't be what I saw (That can't be what I saw) That can't bе what I saw (That can't be what I saw) I close my eyеs but silence leaves me With the memory of sober infidelity While static creeps through cracks Static creeps through cracks and double Static creeps through cracks and double vision Something in sound (Something for everyone) Blind man's sight found (Something for everyone) Something hidden in the sound (Something hidden in the sound) Something, something hidden in the sound (Something hidden in the sound) Something, something hidden in the sound (Something hidden in the sound) Something, something hidden in the sound (Something hidden in the sound) I've seen beauty, but it's never been quite like this Absorbed whole by the light of a promised kiss Trapped in eyes that search deeply from in her hands And it's me that she wants, and I understand I've been crazy, but it's never been quite this strange As moments sift through one another, they're bound to change Panicked search for recognition but the image fades Nothing left but the warmth of her smile remains, remains I've seen beauty, but it's never been quite like this Absorbed whole by the light of a promised kiss Trapped in eyes that search deeply from in her hands And it's me that she wants, and I understand I've been crazy, but it's never been quite this strange As moments sift through one another, they're bound to change Panicked search for recognition but the image fades Nothing left but the warmth of her smile remains, remains I close my eyes, but silence trickles down my spine As the sun becomes a line And darkness crushes thought with its derision I close my eyes, but silence trickles down my spine As the sun becomes a line (As the sun) And darkness crushes thought with its derision In a single room, my padded tomb, I'm Left to my own dark tricks, I'll Live forever in a dream A frozen scream Memories, memories, memories (May 26) of May 26 (Of May 26) Memories, memories, memories of May 26 (Memories of May 26)

She called me out into the street, I heard my name echoing down familiar ground. Her eyes in hand, wide open, Saw it all begin, Garden of memory to keep me in. In silence called, In fear and awe I caught her smile, In tears, I understood, Just for a while. I will recall the place that I had briefly been, Where I'd seen her. My waking dream.
