1.
We drink the water from the same source The water from the We drink the water from We drink the water from the Every time you think that Every time you think that Every time you think that Every time you think that It is all around you...
2.
When I look at the sky I see them, I know them Just like old home movies I watched when I was five Isn't it such a strange thing That you are afraid of the most beautiful things That you will ever see? Like Disney scenes that you wanted to fast-forward But now you wouldn't trade the moments For the world The one thing I cannot explain is how the fuck Timothy and his friend were tripping off champagne? But I'm still just grateful for one of the first times That I could escape into a world of new colors
3.
At night, you're driving You don't know where you're going to But you keep driving And try as you might, time passes by You see two roads ahead of you A left or right And then you realize this road you're on Will never end These roads, you've seen before In one of your recurring dreams It seems where you are now Just maybe is another dream But rest won't come to you As you drive on and lose control The wheel spins faster now A left or right means nothing now In dreams...
4.
Are we nothing more than reflections Of what's happened One trillion times before Floating around the sun? No one —  does no one watch over this? Are we alone? And how can we know? We know nothing at all Looking up and you'll see That you never will be able to know the truth But truth is how you see it
5.
You are there when it pours Out from clouds you've seen before You know it is too late to run or hide It is too late to find shelter inside a home You've never felt you've known Or passing thoughts that wash away with drops of rain
6.
I've got pictures on the wall My favorite rock group KISS I've got Ace Frehley I've got Peter Criss Waiting there for me Yes, I do I do In the garage I feel safe No one cares about my ways In the garage where I belong No one hears me sing this song I've got electric guitar I play my stupid songs I write these stupid words And I love every one I wanna rock and roll all night And party every day I wanna rock and roll all night
7.
When you held my hand I tried But I knew it was then That I would never see your face Again When I held your hand you told me I'd see you again But it was all too clear That you were already gone We'll have to see Well I don't know We'll wait and see What we don't know
8.
When you see the mountains falling into the sea and all around you are the things that never made any sense at all but things are not always what they seem to be are they? When you see just what you really are It's uncanny to think that it's how everyone is And It's all the same to you and you know that Everyone here is the exact same And it's always been this way, you see, Until the end of everything Changes but only in name And names are what we call ourselves When we don't know really what to do and we can't see the light But light is the answer and yes is the answer If you only saw what I can see inside you You would never feel so lonely again
9.
You are speaking But the words don't make any sense At all And your hands won't stop their shaking What is it you tried to say? Where we are now Is nowhere A blue harbor Bodies floating out to sea beds All around People shouting with no voices… when they say "Let me out! Wake me up and stop this nightmare!" Or is it Something more than what we're seeing Something more than what it seems You are speaking You are here You are with me What was it you tried to tell me? What was it? What is it you tried to say? I am here
