2. Just Pretend
Can you hear me?
Do you see me?
When you look into my eyes
And can you tell me
What’s going on?
Inside my head
Sometimes the words I speak
Don’t always sound the way that I intended
And some times my mind is so unclear
I feel so strange inside my skin
Like a stranger here within
Sometimes the words I speak
Don’t always sound the way that I intended
And some times my mind is so unclear
So I speak these words again
Will you ever comprehend?
And as I scream these words
I know you'll never understand
You just pretend
3. The Waking Mind
The wheel grinds its monotony
I watch it turn and my mind wakes
Just another perfect day
In this world of grey
As the years pass
My mind brakes
In time we learn
To be a part of the system
In time we try
To somehow remain the same
In time we see
That technology must progress
In time we find
Where always searching for something new
In the modern world we must produce
And in order to produce we must better ourselves
And to survive we must create
And in order to create we must first touch perfection
Open your mind
4. Building Towers
I look at the world today
To find myself
And I look at the world again
To see myself
Nothings like it was
Their building towers
Where I used to play
Everything has changed
All that I remember
Has been taken away
And still I remember
And still I recall
Where have you gone
I look for you but never find you
Where are you now
Now that I need you more than ever
Nothings like it was
Their building towers
Where I used to play
Everything has changed
All that I remember
Has been taken away
And still I remember
And still I recall
5. Visions
6. The Road to Nowhere
I woke this morning from
Another broken sleep
As my mind replays parts of my dream
And as I recall the rain begins to fall
And I hear the sound of your voice calling
You speak my name
I am the one to blame
What have I become
My life has come undone
And it’s drifting out there somewhere
What have I done
I know soon they will come
And they’ll take me on the road to nowhere
I’ve got nowhere to run
So I’ll just sleep
And let my mind replay another dream
And as towers fall I feel I’ve been reborn
Still I see a vision of your face burning
You speak my name
I am the one to blame
What have I become
My life has come undone
And it’s drifting out there somewhere
What have I done
I know soon they will come
And they’ll take me on the road to nowhere
7. If Not Myself
Did I reach a bit too far?
Have I gone the wrong way?
Should I be here in this place?
Is there an answer eluding me
Something that I’ve failed to see
Some kind of dark conspiracy
That you kept from me
So you washed your hands
You washed your hands of me
And you walked away
You turned your back on me
And left me here
Who am I if not myself?
Am I just dust upon a forgotten shelf?
Framed and hanging from a wall
In some lonely obscure gallery hall
Still I wait for you
To collect me
8. Nothing
Do you believe in salvation
I do
Don’t look at me this way
And imagine what could have been
Don’t look at me now
And tell me you’re sorry for me
Just save your tears
I don’t need them anymore
Everything I touch
Just turns to stone
Crumbling in my hands
Drifting out to sea
With no way home
And I am nothing
I am nothing
Alone I sit and watch the gloom
From my cold and empty room
It’s so cold here
Alone here I am inside my mind
Embraced by the coldness of my memories
Everything I touch
Just turns to stone
Crumbling in my hands
Drifting out to sea
With no way home
There’s nothing left here for me
I watch the falling sands
Slipping through my fingers
And my fingers are bleeding
And my salvation is near
My salvation is calling
Don’t cry for me just save your tears
Just save your tears
And pray for my salvation
9. Crossing Over
10. Behind the Wire
Behind the wire
My eyes stare cold
They give me a number
And I am told
To obey their way
Understand
My will is my own need
I’m not pretending no
I am man
I am the flesh and blood
And I want the same things now
I want the same
I need the same
Can’t hide my shame
It’s all I have
Try to chain me
Try to break me
Try to starve me
Try to kill me
Understand
My will is my own need
I’m not pretending no
I am man
I am the flesh and blood
And I want the same things now
Understand
My will is their defeat
I’m not descending no
I am man
I am the rising flood
And I will be free somehow
11. Room 23
I can’t move
Cannot speak
I can’t breathe the air
I can’t feel
Cannot touch
I can’t reach outside the square
The place I’m looking for
Lye’s behind the door
In room twenty three
I can’t wake
Cannot sleep
I can’t close my eyes
I can’t walk
Cannot run
I can’t seem to hide
The place I’m looking for
Lye’s behind the door
In room twenty three
I’m sick of living life this way
Consumed by fear everyday
Sometimes I wonder if it’s all in my head
I’m tired of crawling on the floor
I’ve tried to reach beyond that door
And I wonder if I’m better off dead
12. Wise Men & Wise Fools
Seek my friend and you will find
Swimming somewhere in your mind
Your head is like a sea of thought
A wayward ship that’s lost its course
Soon you'll run aground
Lost and hoping to be found
Hoping to be found
You asked me once for advice
Can you ever forgive me
Wise men say fools never gain
But who’s to say what wise men say
Speak to me again speak your mind
And let us see what we can find
Your head is like a sea of thought
A wayward ship that’s lost its course
Soon you'll run aground
Lost and hoping to be found
Hoping to be found
