Queensryche

Silent Lucidity

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 your mind

Commanding in another world

Suddenly you hear and see

This magic new dimension

will be watching over you

I'm gonna help you see it though

will protect you in the night

I'm smiling next to you in silent lucidity

Hug me if you open your mind for me

You won't rely on open eyes to see

The walls you build 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

A soul set free to fly

A round trip journey in your head

Master of Illusion can you realize

Your dream's alive you can be the guide but

 will be watching over you

 I'm gonna help you see it though

 will protect you in the night

 I'm smiling next to you
