Window Of The Waking Mind

Time

Time has this funny way of playing jokes on you

While you're waiting for what you think you know

Will happen next is never what you could have come to expect

And so it goes, oh, and so it goes

Deep inside his eyes, I see myself

As I wonder who he’ll turn out to be

Is that a question that needs answering right now?

And so concludes this chapter

As my parents unravel the entangled threads of my reality

Not of design, but by accident

My perception in question as I leave the infinite for the present

And rise, a Window of the Waking Mind

Here's a simple story and I hope I tell it well

Of a boy locked in a place, his mind the very cell

Imprisoned with his wild visions of every time in space

There's no one in this world quite like him

The thing that complicates it is his parents and who they are

The law they’re made to run from beyond the House of the Stars

The birth must be in secret so no prying eyes can see

There's no one of this world quite like him

Our pride and joy, are you there?

Are you there? Are you in there safe and sound?

Tell us what you need so we can help you

We don't know what to do, we don't know what to do

Patronizing doctors with their diagnostic leads

Carry on your query, it's blood, the boy, he bleeds

But you can't see him like you, so a monster he must be

There's no one in this world quite like him

Vaxis

Son?

Do you hear us?

Do you feel us?

Vaxis?

Vaxis?

Vaxis?

Vaxis, can you see us with your eyes?

Vaxis, can you hear us with your ears?

Is this right to calculate his moments?

To find what's normal is being normal

What’s wrong?

What’s wrong?

Can you feel it? (No)

Can you hear it? (No)

Time

I'll take you home, this child of ours

I’ll take you home

With all my love, I'll give you the world

And keep no secrets from you

So life gets tough, but it's no excuse or your fault

My brightest star, shine your light on us all

Am I wrong or did he save me?

Shine your love on all this crazy

Oh

Who said you gotta rush to get old?

Figure it all out or you'll be left in the cold

(Who says you gotta rush?)

Little one, let them

Don’t follow, just set them free

You can do it on your time, so you know

(Oh, my boy)

I'll be watching you, armed to the teeth

Don't you go poking while the lion, he sleeps

(The lion, he sleeps, my boy)

My boy, it's okay to cry

I'm telling you

Time

Who said you gotta rush to get old?

Figure it all out or you'll be left in the cold

(I'm telling you, time)

Little one, let them

Don't follow, just set them free

You can do it on your time, so you know

(I'm telling you, time)

I'll be watching you, armed to the teeth

Don't you go poking while the lion, he sleeps

(I'm telling you, boy)

My boy, it's okay to cry
