Window of the Waking Mind
de Coheed and Cambria
Time
Time has this 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 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 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 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?
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)
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
Oh
Who said you gotta rush to get old?
Figure it all out or you'll be left in the cold
(Who says you gotta rush?)
Little one, let them
Don’t follow, just set them free
You can do it on your time, so you know
(Oh, my boy)
I'll be watching you, armed to the teeth
Don't you go poking while the lion, he sleeps
(The lion, he sleeps, my boy)
My boy, it's okay to cry
I'm telling you
Time
Who said you gotta rush to get old?
Figure it all out or you'll be left in the cold
(I'm telling you, time)
Little one, let them
Don't follow, just set them free
You can do it on your time, so you know
(I'm telling you, time)
I'll be watching you, armed to the teeth
Don't you go poking while the lion, he sleeps
(I'm telling you, boy)
My boy, it's okay to cry
