Knock, knock, knock on the glass I don't know what time is it, how much just passed You told me you'd help me Yeah, you told me you'd be there You are a liar, but I believed you, I swear Knock, knock, knock, let me out You just laugh even though I'm screaming so loud I guess you want to ruin my life I guess you like watching other flames die Flame under a, under a glass No air, no oil, no stupid gas Many years now and I survived My flame is, my flame is still alive Knock, knock, knock, write it down Your project failed, I'm the only one in town Who survived your pathetic game I'm sorry for everyone who lost their flame Flame under a, under a glass No air, no oil, no stupid gas Many years now and I survived My flame is, my flame is still alive You think I am strange, I think you are strange I don't know why I have to sit in a stupid cage Trying, fighting, learning how it feels like to be fooled My whole body is shaking, but I'm not allowed to move No air, no oil, no stupid gas Many years now and I survived My flame is, my flame is still alive

Like science fiction We're under the glass again And now I can't remember How life was outside, on the outside, yeah They pull you one way They push you back again, I know To sow division Poisoning minds, poisoning minds, so Nobody knows what they want Nobody knows what they want Nobody knows what they want Anymore Said it's the good life You get the gold or you get the lead And if you stand up, you get it In the back of the head, back of the head, yeah And here I wonder How I even know the names Of the useless sons and daughters Of a criminal class, criminal class, oh Nobody knows what they want Nobody knows what they want Nobody knows what they want Anymore Like science fiction We're under the glass again Before we burn forever Falling in line, falling in line, yes These are the days of heaven These are the people you can trust And they always tell us We are free in our minds, free in our minds, yeah Free in our minds, free in our minds, yeah Free in our minds, free in our minds, but Nobody knows what they want Nobody knows what they want Nobody knows what they want Anymore Nobody knows what they want Nobody knows what they want Nobody knows what they want Anymore

Once again I've cried unto the moon That burning flame That has guided me through all these years The lake from which you flow With eyes of fire Once unlit but now alive This energy, sparkling like a morning star The morning star Riding the fires of the northern gold I've searched the eye I laugh under the weeping moon I am the watcher in the skies Nor the emeralds know my mark Glisten to mark their presence Set the enigma ablaze Searching Finding Burn the winter landmarks That said I was there Burn the spirit of cold That travel through my soul

I've been chasing diamonds I've been chasing pearls I've been keeping company With cinnamon girls I swoon, did you see my head shake? Stay tuned and I'll entertain Hey hot stuff, make my lemonade How long does a lifetime take? And they all got down to the Cinderella quick step In living color, cheekbones like Johnny Depp When the whip came down it was no joke Came too soon, half drunk under a full moon Well I lost my sense of humor When my lips turned blue Now I know the right move Is just whatever gets you through I swooned from the minute that I woke Stay tuned 'cause it just might rain Hey hot stuff, make my cherry Coke Your logic's driving me insane And they all got down to the Cinderella quick step In living color, cheekbones like Johnny Depp When the whip came down it was no joke Came too soon, half drunk under a full moon And then the music stopped playing And the lights came off There was no sign of Cinderella Cinderella was gone She left every heart broken Every good man cried Each and every one had that look upon their face Like the '60s just died And someone said: "I can feel the music I can hear the music I can feel the music Tell me if you hear the music, say yes" If you hear the music say yes If you hear the music say yes If you hear the music say yes If you hear the music say yes Say yes, say yes, say yes, say yes Say yes, yes, yes, yes... And they all got down to the Cinderella quick step In living color, cheekbones like Johnny Depp When the whip came down it was no joke Came too soon, half drunk under a full moon They all got down to the Cinderella quick step In living color, cheekbones like Johnny Depp When the whip came down it was no joke Came too soon, half drunk under a full moon Yeah

Tunnel vision at blinding speed Controlling my thoughts, obsessing me Void of any uncertainty Throughout my very soul Lost illusions of mind control Resisting all hope of letting go Racing impulse of dark desire Drives me through the night I try to shut it down It leaves me in the dust No matter what I've found I can never get enough Frantic actions of insanity Impulsive laced profanity Long for elusive serenity Way out of my control Traveling through both space and time Out of body, out of mind Out of control My wheels in constant motion Spinning round and round it goes I can't let up, I can't let go Can't stop this flame from burning Forever more, into the night, blistering Focus here, focus there Cannot see the light Falling down through the night Sprawling everywhere Searching left, searching right Panic setting in I can no longer fight When will this end? Accelerate, dislocate Set to crash and burn Haven't got time to waste Not planning to return Aggravate, agitate When will I ever learn? There's no way out of here Nowhere to turn Obsessive yearning Compulsive burning Still never learning Insane random thoughts of neat disorder Scattered wasteland surrounding me Tattered memories of what used to be Apocalyptic mind debris Until we meet again Traveling through both space and time Out of body, out of mind Out of control My wheels in constant motion Spinning round and round it goes I can't let up, I can't let go Can't stop this flame from burning Forever more, into the night, blistering Traveling through both space and time Out of body, out of mind Out of control My wheels in constant motion Spinning round and round it goes I can't let up, I can't let go Can't stop this flame from burning Can't stop the wheels from turning Traveling through both space and time You get yours and I got mine Out of control My wheels in constant motion Spinning round and round it goes I can't let up, I can't let go Can't stop this flame from burning Forever more, into the night, blistering

To rise, to fall To hurt, to hate To want, to wait To heal, to save Can't hear it, we fear it Awareness won't come near it Distractive, reactive Disguised in spite of time I never bared my emotion My passion always strong I never lost my devotion But somewhere fate went wrong Can't let them rape me again Your venom's not family here Won't let them fill me with Fatalistic remedies What if the rest of the world Was hopelessly blinded by fear? Where would my sanctity live? Suddenly nobody cares It's never enough You're wasting your time Isn't there something I could say? You don't understand You're closing me out How can we live our lives this way? You tell me I'm wrong I'm risking my life Still, I have nothing in return I show you my hands You don't see the scars Maybe you'll leave me here to burn What if the rest of the world Was hopelessly drowning in vain? Where would our self pity run? Suddenly everyone cares Blood... heal me Fear... change me Belief will always save me Blood... swearing Fear... staring Conviction made aware Give up on misery Turn your back on dissent Leave their distrust behind Wash your hands of regret Do you feel you don't know me anymore? And do you feel I'm afraid of your love? And how come you don't want me asking? And how come my heart's not invited? You say you want everyone happy Well, we're not laughing And how come you don't understand me? And how come I don't understand you? Thirty years say we're in this together So open your eyes People in prayer for me Everyone there for me Sometimes I feel I should face this alone My soul exposed It calms me to know that I won't Blood... heal me Fear... change me Belief will always save me Blood... swearing Fear... staring Conviction made aware Give up on misery Turn your back on dissent Leave their distrust behind Wash your hands of regret Blood... heal me Fear... change me Belief will always save me Blood... swearing Fear... staring Conviction made aware Learning from misery Staring back at dissent Leaving distrust behind I'm inspired and content

He seemed no different from the rest Just a healthy normal boy His mama always did her best And he was daddy's pride and joy He learned to walk and talk on time But never cared much to be held And steadily he would decline Into his solitary shell As a boy he was considered somewhat odd Kept to himself most of the time He would daydream in and out of his own world But in every other way he was fine He's a Monday morning lunatic Disturbed from time to time Lost within himself In his solitary shell A temporary catatonic Madman on occasion When will he break out Of his solitary shell He struggled to get through his day He was helplessly behind He poured himself onto the page Writing for hours at a time As a man he was a danger to himself Fearful and sad most of the time He was drifting in and out of sanity But in every other way he was fine He's a Monday morning lunatic Disturbed from time to time Lost within himself In his solitary shell A momentary maniac With casual delusions When will he be let out Of his solitary shell
