15. Closing Scene

16. Metropolis Pt. 1

The smile of dawn arrived early May
She carried a gift from her home
The night shed a tear to tell her of fear
And of sorrow and pain
She'll never outgrow
Death is the first dance, eternal
There's no more freedom
Yhe both of you will be
confined to this mind
I was told there's a miracle for each day that I try
I was told there's a new love
that's born for each one that has died
I was told there'd be no one to
call on when I feel alone and afraid
I was told if you dream of the next world
You'll find yourself swimming in a lake of fire
As a child, I thought I could
live without pain without sorrow
As a man I've found it's all caught up with me
Iim asleep yet I'm so afraid
Somewhere like a scene from a memory
There's a picture worth a thousands words
Eluding stares from faces before me
It hides away and will never be heard again
Deceit is the second without end
The city's cold blood teaches us to survive
Just keep me heart in your eyes and we'll stay alive
The third arrives...
Before the leaves have fallen
Before we lock the doors
There must be the third and last dance
This one will last forever
Metropolis watches and thoughtfully smiles
She's taken you to your home
It can only take a place
When the struggle between
our children has ended
Now the Miracle and the
Sleeper know that the third is love
Love is the Dance of Eternity

17. The Mirror

Temptation-
Why won't you leave me alone?
Lurking Every Corner, everywhere I go
Self Control-
Don't turn your back on me now
When I need you most
My will or my wont
My Self control escape from me still...
Hypocrite-
How could you be so cruel
and expect my faith in return?
Resistance-
When you close the door
I spent so long trusting in you
I trust you forgot
Just when I thought
I believed I you...
Becoming all too real
living in fear-
Why did you lie and pretend?
This has come to an end
I'll never trust you again
It's time you made your amends
Look in the mirror my friend
Let's stare the problem right in the eye
It's plagued me from coast to coast
Racing the clock to please everyone
All but the one who matters the most
Reflections of reality
are slowly coming into view
How in the hell could you possibly forgive me?
After the hell I put you through
It's time for me to deal
Becoming all to real
living in fear-
Why I'd betray my friend?
Lying until the end
Living life so pretend
It's time to make my amends
I'll never hurt you again

18. Just Let Me Breathe

Open your eyes
And turn off your mind
Step right up folks and you will find
A growing trend
An epidemic
Spread with Zen
And hypodermics
Just close your mind
You can find all you need with your eyes
The big machines take care of you
Until you kill yourself
And then the sales go through the roof
Calculated, formulated
Feed my head with simple thoughts
And let me breathe instead of being taught
All bottled up and tearing by the seams
I'm bored
Just let me breathe
A daily dose of eMptyV
Will flush your mind right down the drain
Shannon Hoon and Kurt Cobain,
Make yourself a household name
Just close your mind
You can find all you need with your eyes
The big machines take care of you
Until you kill yourself
And then the sales go through the roof
Calculated, formulated
Feed my head with simple thoughts
And let me breathe instead of being taught
All bottled up and tearing by the seams
I'm bored
Just let me breathe
Strike up your best angst ridden posture
Manufactured anger
Let's not forget my legacy
All my heroes have failed me
Now they're dead and buried
Just close your mind
You can find all you need with your eyes
The big machines will take care of you
Until the fashion fades
And the checks go through
My bankroll's red
And my face is blue
And still they'll turn their backs on you for
Someone new
Feed my head
With some real thoughts
And let me think instead
Of being taught
I'll say things
You won't believe
Just stand back
Just let me breathe ........

20. Caught In A New Millennium

A single star behind me
A red sky burns ahead
A lonely light below me
Awake among the dead
I can't hold on any longer
These feelings keep growing stronger
Echoes that deafen the mind
Will bury my voice in their wake
Caught in a Web
Removed from the world
Hanging on by a thread
Spinning the lies devised in my head
Living out a constant deja-vu
Keep your head up - Please be patient we will get to you
Keep your head up - Just have some faith and you can see it through
Keep your head up - What they want from me ain't gotta clue
Keep your head up - Swallow pride before it swallows you
Keep your head up - Don't dare bite the hand that's starving you
Keep your head up -
How can you keep your head and no got insane
When the only light at the end of the tunnel is another train
Caught in a Web refused by the world
Hanging on by a thread
Spinning a cage denied and misread
I've got this feeling - The tide is turning now baby
Funny feeling - Everything's gonna be alright now.

21. Another Day

Live another day
Climb a litle higher
Find another reason to stay
Ashes in your hands
Mercy in your eyes
If you're searching for a silent sky...
You won't find it here
Look another way
You won't find it here
So die another day
The coldness of this words
The message in his silence,
"Face the candle to to the wind..."
This distance in my voice
Isn't leaving you a choice
So if you're looking for a time to run away...
You won't find it here
Look another way
You won't find it here
So try another day
They took picture of our dreams
Ran to hide behind the stairs
And said maybe when it's right
for you, they'll fall
Butif they don't come down
Resist to need to pull them in
And throw them away
Better to save the mystery
Than surrender to the secret
You won't find it here
Look another way
You won't find it here
So try another day

[Voices]

"Love, just don't stare"
He used to say to me every Sunday morning
The spider in the window'
The angel in the pool
The old man takes the poison
Now the widow makes the rules
"So speak, I'm right here"
She used to say to me
not a word not a word
Judas on the ceiling, the Devil in my bed
I guess Easter's never coming
So I'll just wait inside my head
Like a scream but sort of silent
Living off my nightmares
Voices repeating me "Feeling threatened?
We reflect your hopes and fears."
Voices discussing me "Others steal your thoughts
they're not confined within your mind."
Thought disorder Dream control
Now they read my mind on the radio
But where was the garden of Eden?
I feel elated' I feel depressed
Sex is death, Death is sex
Says it right here on my Crucifix
Like a scream but sort of silence
Living off my nightmares
Voices protecting me
"Good behavior brings the Savior to his knees."
Voices rejecting me
"Others steal your thoughts they're not confined to your mind."
I'm kneeling on the floor staring at the wall
like the spider in the window
I wish that I could speak
Is there fantasy in refuge?
God in politicians?
Should I turn on my religion?
These demon in my head tell me to
I'm lying here in bed
Swear my skin is inside out
Just another Sunday morning
Seen my diary on the newsstand
Seems we've lost the truth to quicksand
It's a shame no one is praying
"Cause these voices in my head
keep saying:"Love just don't stare."
Reveal the World when you're
Withdrawn and introverted infectiously perverted
"Being laughed at and confused
keeps us pleasantly amused enough to stay."
Maybe I'm just Cassandra fleeting
Twentieth century Icon bleeding
Willing to risk Salvation to escape from isolation
I'm whitness to redemption
heard to speak but never listened
Can you rid of my secrets?
Deliver us from Darkness?
Voice repeating me, "feeling threatened?
we reflect your hopes and fears."
Voices discussing me
Don't expect your own Messiah
This neverworld which you desire in only in your mind.
