Life Is But a Dream…
Open, blurry, nurture, loving Crawling, walking, fleeting, glory Welcome, brother, stranger, bloody Ally, teacher, recess, buddy Secret, toothless, fairy, pillow Money, kissing, nervous, hero Warmly ordinary (This daytime TV satisfies) Extra ordinary (These hand-me-downs worn in so nice) As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may Days are fine and come on time But years leave with nothing to find (Wake up!) Changes, hormones, high school, threesome Roll call, study, license, freedom Novice, flirting, first time, lover Party, fighting, wasted, summer Questions, doubtful, wedding, family Happy, ever, after, dead end Daily iteration (The bestest part of waking up) Mundane ideation (This dark roast got me so fucked up!) As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may As it may, as it may, as it may, as it may Days, they come, and days, they go Until no more days set you free Well on my way My way to lose me It strikes me that I don't belong here anymore As I observe my own reflection Try a happy face Staring through the warm tears A sad frown from the cold years Adieu I never had the will anyway Toss a rope over the branch and fall into the night And here I swing from my family tree Say goodnight Can't you see life is but a dream anyway?

My vinyl skin provides protection It holds in place my plastic bones Cast button eyes reflect an image And all seems as it should, but there's nobody home Cue the breeze That sway the painted trees Toy yellow birds upon the rooftops sing In chorus with the buzzing bees Melt in sun LED beams From the sky, being held on a string While boredom tears me apart at the seams Now I know this might sound crazy But I've smelled the plastic daisies And it seems we've found ourselves in Hell Round head consumed with major nothings Ears made of wax unfit to hear Day after day, it all plays over Dedicated loop, same year after year Please attend All model citizens R.S.V.P. if we can count you in Empty as we play pretend Send our thoughts with you and to your kin And in case we don't see you again Good afternoon, good evening, and goodnight Now I know this might sound crazy But I've smelled the plastic daisies And it seems we've found ourselves in Hell Living feign in porcelain And just smart enough to know nothing at all Pull my string and make me cry Advertisement me moral scrawl A semblance of choice when there's no choice at all Out of stock, the end is nigh Burn Body, burn Burn Now I know this might sound crazy But I've smelled the plastic daisies And it seems we've found ourselves in Hell

Ride in the shadows wandering beyond the frame Float like a feather through space and time outside a dream Pirouette with divinity in a dance we've shared before "Someone dissolution" This is "I am all" as "I am none" Here we fly so high, no, I, no coming down Shedding weight as I'm coming undone All that's left converging as one I am the sun I am the sun I'm a God, I'm awake, I'm the one in everything I'm alive, I'm the dead, I'm a man without a head I walk with death in final exhalation And come apart through violent separation A thousand floors ascend into the ether A lunatic enchanted by the reaper And down below I leave a stranger laying lifeless as the light begins to shatter the skies I ascend and leave behind the "used to be" And tear the fabric worn to cover my eyes and see I see Nobody Breathe in the silence, ebb and flow among the waves Blur on the spectrum in light come dark in equal phase All I ever was, has been and always will be Here I end where I started again beyond death and borne on the wind I am the sun I am the sun I'm a God, I'm awake, I'm the one in everything I'm alive, I'm the dead, I'm a man without a head A crack in the darkness A tear in the sky A narrow moment when we find ourselves And all we occupy Return to the boundless Immerse in the free Letting go as you lose your name And all you've known to be Nobody Nobody Nobody Nobody

There you are, you've come so far Sunny days, the air tastes so sweet Flowers greet Birds will sing "you mean everything" You can be anything More power, more pace More money, more taste More sex, more pills More skin, more shills Build tall, build higher Build far, build wider Build here, build down Build up, build now But look at the way you go You're one in a million, and you know it shows And we love you Unto the mud! More wants, more needs More hits, morphine More speed, more drive More self, more time Build out, build fast Build strong, build vast Build too, build more Build all, build war Look at the way you go You're one in a million, and you know it shows And we love you, ah-ah Do unto the mud! Mud! Race to scale the body stack And lay foot to face atop broken back A failure here is a failure earned So do unto the top! Do unto the end! Do unto the mud, do! More power, more pace More money, more taste More sex, more pills More skin, more shills More wants, more needs More hits, morphine More speed, more drive More self, more time Build tall, build higher Build far, build wider Build here, build down Build up, build now Build out, build fast Build strong, build vast Build, build, build, build Build, build, build, build Look at the way you go You're one in a million, and you know it shows And we love you Look at the way that you choose You know you'll never lose And all that you are, it was all you deserved anyway Sunny days And we love you And we love you And we love you

Fade from all that was before We shut another door But not a last goodbye Fate has taken once again A fight we'll never win And time again, we try Left alone, I can't wait too long, fade Love, we loved so many times And in so many lives Sometimes we got it right Pain, it found its way back in Until we meet again Into that good night None too far as we chase through the stars Beyond forever, I'll follow you Dancin' in the wind As roses born again There, you'll find me Before the dawn of man In castles made of sand There, you'll find me Writin' in the caves As fire lights the way There, you'll find me Mask of royal glow Don in pharaoh's clothes There, you'll find me Let it go, yeah Rings of dust and ice Weightless in the night There, you'll find me Let it go Dancin' in the wind As roses born again There, you'll find me Before the dawn of man In castles made of sand There, you'll find me Writing in the caves As fire lights the way There, you'll find me Mask of royal glow Don in pharaoh's clothes There, you'll find me From all that was before We shut another door But not a last goodbye Taken once again A fight we'll never win And time again, we try (I'm gone) We loved so many times (I'm gone) And in so many lives Sometimes we got it right (I'm gone) It found its way back in (I'm gone) Until we meet again Into that good...

I sit stoic Touch of the divine upon my neck Lay me gently Take my body down, let me ascend Help me to hear, and hear me to save And save me before I've gone too far Let me inhale my passage to hell While slowly exhaling the scar You walk on water But the water swallows you I lay quiet Floating in the stillness of this tomb Headstone empty Choking on the flowers as they bloom No one to know, and nowhеre to hide And nothing of me I'vе left behind Silence of one, the meaning of none And letting it all go to be You walk on water But the water swallows you You're like no other You're the other one in view (Don't let it be) Don't let it be Don't let it... It's a beautiful morning It's a beautiful day Everybody is smilin' In a beautiful way I took a walk to paint the flowers and the trees The sun reflected gazing fondly on me I made a picture and I put it in the rays outside It washed the paint away and carried me home, I have finally arrived There's no one but you two Dressed in armor Just the hollow shell I was before Help me to turn my attention on me So empty just as I was before Let me exhale concession to hell While slowly embracing the scar You walk on water But the water swallows you And you're like no other You're the other one in view (Don't let it be) You walk on water (Don't let it be, don't let it be) But the water swallows you (Don't let it be) (Don't let it, don't let it) And you're like no other (Don't let it be, don't let it be) You're the other one in view (Don't let it be!)

It's easier to just walk away I know you'll see brighter days along the way I've been shaped by peaks and valleys Found a plateau where I cursed at the sky Sometimes I feel that the rain falls for me Bound to the flesh 'til the day that I die It's easier to just walk away I know you'll see brighter days along the way Days like this come as days go And all that you love just as soon be goodbyes What was so far for so long now behind me Yes, I'll hold applause 'til the end of the ride It's easier to just walk away I know you'll see brighter days along the way It's easier to just walk away I know you'll see brighter days along the way

Oh! Hey! Can't ya see we're trippin' on the wire? Walkin' through the candy land of our desires Press the magic button and behold the world you crave Where's the fun in freedom when it renders you a slave? Pledge allegiance, no flag God nation, goddamned The devil dances with the scorned And how the fire keeps us warm Hey! It goes beyond big brother in the sky Beyond the threat of martial law, no Horus Eye No one came to cuff ya, they just handed ya the chains Blind followed the blind, and now the one-eyed man is king Pledge allegiance, no flag God nation, goddamned The devil dances with the scorned And how the fire keeps us warm Tunnel vision, no man Damnation, god damn Can't see the forest for the trees Can't heal the wound before we bleed No form of payment, no pot of gold Will satisfy the debt of what he's owed Spilling from the houses In a trance, the children lined up on the road Cursing at the piper as he lured your kids away And led them to the river for what was their final day No need for convincing On his pipe, he played a song to fool them all Fooled them all Pledge allegiance, no flag God nation, goddamned The devil dances with the scorned And how the fire keeps us... Tunnel vision, no man Damnation, god damn Can't see the forest for the trees Can't heal the wound before we bleed

Will you give me my own soul? Will you let me take control? I wanna see the things that you see I wanna be the human you be I wanna know the secrets inside I wanna know the feelings you hide Will you give me my own soul? Control Tell me how to dream, and tell me what it means Tell me how you feel, and tell me you believe Tell me all the things you wanted me to be Tell me when I'm really alive Can you feel my love? Can you feel my lovе?

In my dreams I awake as daylight breaks And wash my face Put my bedroom back in its place And tucked away Write a note of a few things I want to say And leave it on the fireplace And in my dreams another day In my dreams I stare out in the distance Of the city scene From way up here it's so serene 'Cause nothings said As I make myself more comfortable with the edge I leap into the darkest night Wind on my face It satisfies I never have felt so alive And in my dreams I blow away
