Silent Lucidity
by Queensryche

Hush now don't you cry
wipe away the teardrop from your eye
You're lying safe in bed
it was all a bad dream
spinning in your head
Your mind tricked you to feel the pain
of someone close to you leaving the game of life
So here it is, another chance
Wide awake you face the day
your dream is over...
...or has it just begun?

There's a place I like to hide
A doorway that I run through in the night
Relax child, you were there
but only didn't realize, and you were scared
It's a place where you will learn
to face your fears, retrace the years
and ride the whims of the mind
Commanding in another world
suddenly, you hear and see
this magic new dimension

I will be watching over you
I'm gonna help you see it through
I will protect you in the night
I'm smiling next to you
in silent lucidity

{Bridge; various voices speaking, what sounds like TV static and a woman's voice speaking "Help me"}

If you open your mind for me
you won't rely on open eyes to see
The walls you built within
come tumbling down, and a new world will begin
Living twice at once you learn
you're safe from pain in the dream domain
Your soul set free to fly
A round trip journey in your head
Master of illusion and you realize
Your dream's alive
you can be the guide but

We'll be watching over you
Gonna help you see it through
We'll protect you in the night
I'm smiling next to you...
