queensryche - silent lucidity

i am smiling next to you . . .

http://youtu.be/jhat-xUQ6dw



hush now don't you cry
wipe away the teardrop from your eye

you're lying safe in bed
it was all a bad dream
spinning in your head

your mind tricked you to feel the pain
of someone close to you leaving the game
of life

so here it is, another chance
wide awake, you face the day
your dream is over

or has it just begun?

there's a place i like to hide
a doorway that i run through in the night

relax child, you were there
but only didn't realize
and you were scared

it's a place where you will learn
to face your fears, retrace the years
and ride the whims of your mind

commanding in another world
suddenly, you'll hear and see
this magic new dimension

i
will be watching over you
i
am gonna help you see it through
i
will protect you in the night
i
am smiling next to you
in silent lucidity . . .

"visualize your dream (yes)
record it in the present tense (don't be scared)
put it into a permanent form
if you persist in your efforts
you can achieve a dream control
(control)
(how're you doing today?) (better?)

dream come true
dream come true
dream come true

help me . . ."

if you open your mind for me
you won't rely on open eyes to see

the walls you built within
come tumbling down
and a new world will begin

living twice at once you learn
you're safe from pain in the dream domain
a soul set free to fly

a round trip journey in your head
master of illusion, can you realize?
your dream's alive, you can be the guide but . . .

i
will be watching over you
i
am gonna help you see it through
i
will protect you in the night
i
am smiling next to you . . .

Pink Floyd - Brain Damage / Eclipse

http://youtu.be/tRBz2VbSN8g



the lunatic is on the grass
the lunatic is on the grass
remembering games and daisy chains and laughs
got to keep the loonies on the path

the lunatic is in the hall
the lunatics are in my hall
the paper holds their folded faces to the floor
and every day the paper boy brings more

and if the dam breaks open many years too soon
and if there is no room upon the hill
and if your head explodes with dark forebodings too
i'll see you on the dark side of the moon

the lunatic is in my head
the lunatic is in my head
you raise the blade, you make the change
you re-arrange me 'till i'm sane

you lock the door
and throw away the key
there's someone in my head but it's not me

and if the cloud bursts, thunder in your ear
you shout and no one seems to hear
and if the band you're in starts playing different tunes
i'll see you on the dark side of the moon

all that you touch
all that you see
all that you taste
and all that you feel

all that you love
all that you hate
all you distrust
all that you save

all that you give
all that you deal
all that you buy
beg, borrow or steal

all you create
all you destroy
all that you do
all that you say

all that you eat
everyone you meet
all that you slight
everyone you fight

all that is now
all that is gone
all that's to come
and everything under the sun is in tune
but the sun is eclipsed by the moon

"there is no dark side of the moon really
matter of fact it's all dark"

nirvana - heart shaped box

http://youtu.be/n6P0SitRwy8



she eyes me like a pisces when i am weak
i've been locked inside your heart-shaped box for weeks
i've been drawn into your magnet tar pit trap
i wish i could eat your cancer when you turn black

hey, wait
i got a new complaint
forever in debt to your priceless advice . . .
your advice . . .

meat-eating orchids forgive no one just yet
cut myself on angel hair and baby's breath
broken hymen of your highness, i'm left black
throw down your umbilical noose so i can climb right back

hey, wait
i got a new complaint
forever in debt to your priceless advice . . .
your advice . . .

godsmack - voodoo

(also puddle of mudd - fear)

http://youtu.be/9SSUQxGjZZ4



i'm not the one who's so far away
when I feel the snake bite enter my veins
never did I wanna be here again
and i don't remember why i came

candles raise my desire,
why i'm so far away
no more meaning to my life
no more reason to stay
freezin'
feelin'
breathe in
breathe in
i'm comin back again

i'm not the one who's so far away
when i feel the snake bite enter my veins
never did i wanna be here again
and i don't remember why i came

hazing clouds rain on my head
empty thoughts fill my ears
find my shade by the moonlight
why my thoughts aren't so clear
demons dreamin'
breathe in
breathe in
i'm comin' back again

i'm not the one who's so far away
when i feel the snake bite enter my veins
never did i wanna be here again
and i don't remember why i came

i'm not the one who's so far away
when i feel the snake bite enter my veins
never did i wanna be here again
and i don't remember why i came

ahhhhhhhhhhh . . .

i'm not the one who's so far away
when i feel the snake bite enter my vein
never did i wanna be here again
and i don't remember why i came

i'm not the one who's so far away
when i feel the snake bite enter my vein
never did i wanna be here again
and i don't remember why i came

voodoo voodoo
voodoo voodoo
voodoo voodoo
voodoo voodoo
so far away (voodoo voodoo)

i'm not the one who's so far away (voodoo voodoo)
i'm not the one who's so far away (voodoo voodoo)
i'm not the one who's so far away
