1 – I’m still dreaming
Stay inside,
Look inside yourself and
patiently wind up.
Tune.
I hope you have a place to go,
and I know, it’s hard to glow.
Step into “the (night / light.)”
Look inside.
Look inside.
Nevermind.
They don’t have to know it,
we don’t have to show it,
you just have to listen whilst I…
Who am I?
Where am I?
What am I doing here?
When will I compromise my demise?
and learn to live with fear?
When I smile and bat my eyes,
I seem to shed a tear.
Tell me, am I dreaming?
Tell me clear,
when do I disappear?
Tell me please,
I’m in need, on my knees.
Tell me, where do I start?
and when will I part ways with my heart?
Tell me. Am I dreaming?
Paint yourself, a picture.
Where will you let
Your mind take you?
Who are you?
Recognize the mirage
Your mind has spun
Readjust your sight
Who am I?
I am lifeless,
I want to live.
What do I know?
Nothing.
I know no thing,
Am I strong enough?
am I sane enough?
Who are you?
Who are you?

2. – through the current
There’s a shadow
among our reflection.
A breeding infection…
I sit staring… wondering…
and I close my eyes.
Understand the need to evolve.
Float through the current..
To find the end..
Sing with me,
and release me..
“Release Me.”
and understand the need to evolve.
Let me in.
All these things
that trap my dreams,
bear the screams
to breed more dreams,
my terror takes to sound
and haunts you.
I’ve decided to start where I messed up.
I’ve come to believe that I’m stuck in between.
The thing is, I’ve been wrong this whole time.
While I’ve thought time has stopped, it has fluttered by.
Float through the current
to find the end..
Sing with me,
and release me.
Understand the need to evolve.
Sing with me.
Release me.
“The empty fills me
and slowly becomes me
‘till I AM Nothing
I speak to my eyelids and scream.
I scream and they open for me.”
I am Nothing -
I speak to my eyelids and scream
through the mire, past desire.
My nothing, I admire.

3. – My Friend,
as I’ve said before, [I’ll say it again]
I must walk through this door,
and escape with this dream.
My friend, my friend,
as I leave with a roar,
the phantoms all it the floor,
and escape from this dream.
My Friend, my friend,
I say this with care, and shed a tear,
“We all must release ourselves of dead fear.”
A sudden change in the weather.
A sudden view of the “never.”
Wings sprout and I leave forever.
Forever.
When I return… well,
I hope for your compassion.
For as I live, and so when I pass on;
I’ll always have this passion,
and a love for our creation.
I’d hope you could do the same,
and finally give yourself its true name.
The phantoms all hit the floor
and escape from this dream.
As I have said before, My friend,
I must walk through this door.
Silence.

4. – RUN AWAY
Remember when
thoughts were not lead to such tainted ends?
I’ve been kept awake again…
Oh, since I’ve been awakened
there’s so much to take in,
I lift an eye up and
remember when…
all those things
we use to notice
would slowly
open up our eyes?
Now, I’m staring up,
I can recall when thought
was not stopped by the skies.
Fearless, we fly on
If fear fears me, I’ll be set free.
Fearless, we fly on
to fight face to face -
our demons
Hit the surface,
Breathe in
Breathe out.
Breathe me in
I am the wind.
I am the air.
Nothing has changed,
your mind is just playing a game.
“we are rushing nowhere,
we are vapor in the existence of time”
Why worry? I ask, there’s no use…
We’ll be together soon.
Push your way back.
Stare deep into the cracks.
Fly on up, fill your cup,
begin to set sail,
on the waves of sound.
The masked we’ll unveil.
Frame by frame,
Giving a name,
to whatever is here.
[the feeling of fear]
Nothing has changed,
Your mind is just playing a game,
frame by frame,
giving a name,
to whatever’s here,
the feeling of fear
begins to disappear
when I’m here.
Fearless, we fly on
if fear fears me, I’ll be set free.
Fearless, we fly on
to fight face to face -
our demons
hit the surface,
breathe in
breathe out.
Breathe me in.
I know the
way the way I
know the way
I know now how
to stray I know
the way to stray
the way away
a way the way
to paint it all gray.
I know the way.
Run away.
I know the way.

5. – disappear into your dream.
Take a chance to take a step outside.
Reflect.
Break the cycle of a thoughtless life.
You have two paths you may take
Choose your way.
Though there lay lives you may break
Choose your way.
I begin to see
just how connected we may be…
I design my destiny
with infinite possibility
bridge the gap between
reality and dream.
[the bridging of the gap]
Not to be taken lightly -
dark thoughts I’ve let build inside me
flow right through me…
Nothing, use me.
To every harsh impression:
I am not at all the thing of which I appear to be.
Is it up to me?
I once was not aware of the illusions we are.
Does it make it any different?
…Being aware?
Am I the only one aware?
(Owamai – The only one aware.)
Nothing has changed..
Create in chaos,
wallow in wonder,
unravel untruth.
Evolve.
Change,
reflect on how
much of an impact
each step you take has.
Look around you.
Change…
It comes with the Feeling
i know so well.
So close, so
so close to our ultimate fate
to completely escape.
“I will press on, and pass the current.”
Though we are temporary,
we still have time…
I’ll find my way.
We’ll find our way.
I’ll find my way – and
we’ll find our way.
We’ll step away.
We’ll fade away.
Vanish.
[The Vanishing Sequence]
Disappear into your dream.
Disappear into your dream.
Disappear into your dream.
I’ll find my way.
We’ll find our way.
I’ll find my way.
We’ll find my way.
We’ll step away.
Fade away.
We will disappear
…into your dream.
