This Dream (From "the Roar of the Greasepaint, The Smell of the Crowd") - Anthony Newley

Hello, Mirror So glad to see you my friend, it's been a while Searching, Fearless Where do I begin to heal this wound of self-denial? Face yourself man! Brace yourself and Trace your hell back You've been Blinded Living lie a one way Cold existence All the while Now it's Time to Stare the problem right between The eyes You long lost child I wanna feel your body breaking Wanna feel your body breaking And shaking And left in the cold I want to heal your conscience making A change to fix this dying soul This Dying Soul This Dying Soul Born into this world a broken home Surrounded by love yet all alone Forced into a life that's split in two A mother and a father both pulling you Then you had to deal with loss and death Everybody thinking they know best Coping with this shit at such an age Can only fill a kid with pain and rage Family disease pumped through your blood Never had the chance you thought you could Running all the while with no escape Turning all that pain in to blame and hate Living on your own by twenty one Not a single care and having fun Consuming all the life in front of you Burning out the fuse and smoking the residue Possessive obsessions Selfish childish games Vengeful resentments Passing all the blame Living out a life of decadence Acing without thought of consequence Spreading all your lies from coast to coast While spitting on the ones that matter most Running power mad with no control Fighting for the credit they once stole No one can ever tell you what to do Ruling other's lives while the can't stand The thought of you A living reflection Seen from miles away A hopeless affliction Having run astray I wanna feel your body breaking Wanna feel your body breaking And shaking And left in the cold I want to heal your conscience making A change to fix this dying soul This Dying Soul This dying soul Now that you can see All you have done It's time to take that step Into the kingdom All your sins will Only make you strong And help you break right Through the prison wall Come to me my friend (Listen to me) I'll help this torture end (Help to set me free) Let your ego go (I can't carry this load) You can't go through this alone (I feel so hopeless and exposed) You'll find your peace of mind (Give me some direction) You can no longer hide (Break out of this isolation) Let humility (Openness, honesty) And become what you can be (A healing tranquility) Help me Save me Heal me I can't break out of this prison all alone These tormenting ghosts of yesterday Will vanish when exposed You can't hold onto your secrets They'll only send you back alone Your fearless admissions Will help expel your destructive obsessions With my help I know you can Be at one with God and man Hear me Believe me Take me I'm ready to break right through this prison wall

Look up at the light This could be a dream or it could be real Dive in to my mind And don't come up for air, you won't need it here Can I move you? Can I serve your fear? Could you trust love if I prove it's there? Oh, I need to know it too And now I don't feel you So I lift myself and I close my eyes And I sing sometimes to know I'm alive I know I should figure this out on my own But if you come back, could you take me home? I get back up when the wind is strong But I wish I knew how it felt to run And I know I'm not alone And if you come back, could you take me home? Feeling so alive can hurt so very much When you're losing touch But if I touch you, would you feel it there? Could I trust love even if I'm scared? Oh, I wish I could give like I'm longing to give Oh, I wish I could live like I'm longing to live And I lift myself and I close my eyes And I sing sometimes to know I'm alive I know I should figure this out on my own But if you come back, could you take me home? I get back up when the wind is strong But I wish I knew how it felt to run And I know I'm not alone And if you come back, could you take me home? This could be a dream This could be a dream And I lift myself and I close my eyes And I sing sometimes to know I'm alive I know I should figure this out on my own But if you come back, will you take me home? I get back up when the wind is strong But I wish I knew how it felt to run And I know I'm not alone And if you would come, could you take me home?

I'll never let you go Why? Because I love you I'll always love you so Why? Because you love me No broken hearts for us 'Cause we love each other And with our faith and trust There could be no other Why? 'Cause I love you Why? 'Cause you love me I think you're awfully sweet Why? Because I love you You say I'm your special treat Why? Because you love me We found the perfect love Yes, a love that's yours and mine I love you and you love me all the time (I'll never let you go) (Why? Because I love you) Yes, I love you (I'll always love you so) (Why? Because you love me) Because, you love me We found the perfect love Yes, a love that's yours and mine I love you and you love me I love you and you love me We'll love each other, dear, forever

What kind of fool am I Who never fell in love It seems that I'm the only one That I have been thinking of What kind of man is this? An empty shell- A lonely cell in which An empty heart must dwell What kind of clown am I? What do I know of life? Why can't I cast away this mask of play And live my life? Why can't I fall in love Like any other man And maybe then I'll know what kind of fool I am What kind of lips are these That lied with every kiss That whispered empty words of love That left me alone like this What kind of eyes are these That could not see What could be seen by everybody else, but me What kind of clown am I? What do I know of life? Why can't I cast away this mask of play And live my life? Why can't I fall in love? Til I don't give a damn And maybe then I'll know What kind of fool I am.
