Window Of The Waking Mind

(albüm: Vaxis II: A Window Of The Waking Mind - 2022)

Time

Time has a 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've come to expect
And so it goes
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 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?
Son!

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 right?
What's right?
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

Who says you got to rush to get old?
Figure it all out or you'll be left in the cold
Little one, let them
Don't follow, just set them free
You can do it on your time
So you know I'll be watching you
Armed to the teeth
Don't you go poking
While the lion, he sleeps
My boy, it's okay to cry

I'm telling you...time!
Who says you got to rush to get old?
Figure it all out or you'll be left in the cold
Little one, let them
Don't follow, just set them free
You can do it on your time
So you know I'll be watching you
Armed to the teeth
Don't you go poking
While the lion, he sleeps
My boy, it's okay to cry
Time!
