Time (time)

Time has a 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've come to expect

And so it goes

Ooh, 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 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?

Son

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 right?

What's right?

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

Who says you got to rush to get old?

Figure it all out or you'll be left in the cold (who says you got to rush?)

Little one, let them, don't follow, just set them free

You can do it on your time, so you know

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, it's okay to cry

I'm telling you, time

(Who says you got to 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, it's okay to cry

Time
