window of the waking mind - coheed and cambria lyrics

[part one]
time, time has a funny way of playing jokes on you while
you’re waiting for what you think you know
what 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?

[part two]
“and so concludes this chapter
as my parents unravel the untangled threads of my reality
not of design, but by accident
my perception in question as i leave the infinite fortresses
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 and sp*ce
there’s no one in this world quite like him

the thing that complicates it is his parents and who they are
of all they’ve 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 holds this world quite like him

our pride and joy, 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, my son
do you hear us?
do you fear us?
die! die!

[part three]
“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)

[part four]
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 get’s 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

[part five]
who says you gotta rush to get older?
figure it all out or you’ll be left in the cold
they’re the ones laughing and you’ll probably set them free
you can do it, i just want you to know that
i’ll be watching you, armed to the t**th
don’t you go poking while the lion, he sleeps
my boy, it’s okay to cry
i’m telling you to
who says you gotta rush to get older?
figure it all out or you’ll be left in the cold
they’re the ones laughing and you’ll probably set them free
you can do it, i just want you to know that
i’ll be watching you, armed to the t**th
don’t you go poking while the lion, he sleeps
i’m telling you boy, it’s okay to cry

time…
