Time...
Time has a funny way of playing jokes on you while
You're waiting for what you think you know
What will happen next is never what you could have come to expect
And so it goes, oh, 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 untangled threads of my reality

Not of design, but by accident

My perception in question as I leave the infinite fortresses

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 and space

There's no one in this world quite like him



The thing that complicates it is his parents and who they are

They law they are 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 else 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, my son

Do you hear us?

Do you feel us?

Die! Die!



"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 wrong, what’s wrong?

Can you feel it? (No)

Can you hear it? (No)



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 get's 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 gotta rush to get old?

Figure it all out or you'll be left in the cold

They’re the ones laughing, yeah, you'll probably set them free

You can do it, I just want you to know that

I'll be watching you, armed to the teeth

Don't you go poking, now, the lion, he sleeps

My boy, it's okay to cry

I'm telling you to

Time...

Who says you gotta rush to get old?

Figure it all out or you'll be left in the cold

They're the ones laughing, yeah, you'll probably set them free

You can do it, I just want you to know that

I'll be watching you, armed to the teeth

Don't you go poking, now, the lion, he sleeps

My boy, it's okay to cry

I'm telling you
