I think I can rememberof a picture in my eyes Something of dreams that was taken away I'm trying to remember through my clouded dull and restless mind The thoughts they try and stop me now From finding a way Like thorns in my way It's something of dreams that was taken away The return of the real me The return of the real me
I feel I am recalling to a long-forgotten time I'm making out a clearing in my only once but useless mind Somewhere I had that was taken away The return of the real me
Oh, the return Of this frightened child Who could see through their lives Who could see what he liked Just what he liked Just what he liked
Oh please say you'll never leave here Now I've found me after so long Time for one to take things over I can sleep now this is over
Praise the return of the real me Praise the return of the real me -
I'm a minstrel strolling through your garden There's a place I ran free as a child There's my face of innocent reflection Living in the water and the sound I will play my music while you're sleeping You will wake and take me by the hand I will wonder of this moment sometime later Frozen by the change inside my head
And all because of you-
I can sing or stare across the ocean Shout a cry beneath the various sky Walk around in circles 'til I'm dying Make the shapes accustom while I hide But all of which I felt was of a meaning Colours that would fascinate each time The songs that kept me living in a strange world No longer hold a radiance in my eyes
I forgot myself today The living daylights far away I made my pictures dance and say "We're not feeling any pain" There was no one even near To remind me of the fear
Laughing with everything-
I could stay here for a while In a trance that lasts for miles I'd make my words float round and smile They're not feeling any time
Laughing with everything-
I forgot myself today Prison ship tied far away Words and pictures make me say "I'm not feeling any pain"
You are a lonely child Nobody prays for you Sadly, faces will remind That you're not real anymore Shadow sleep softly Dreams will fill your mind
You are a frightened child Nobody knows of you Sadly, people that you never understood Bring you more heartache Sleep softly Dreams will fill your mind
When I was young and scared of the dark I used to just lie there and shake 'Til I built a dream that made this okay Its music would sing me asleep To a special place Wherefore I know not But the voices were soft all around Over their breeze Me and my kite friend Would laugh at the heavy ground
You are the only one Nobody cares for truth Sadly, faces will remind That you're not real anymore Shadow, sleep softly Dreams will fill your mind Dream softly Sleep will fill your mind
Voice that leads me on As distant as the days before are gone Something I have lost Has left a space that keeps me stumbling on Search through the rain and the sun or the night for the day I will find Watch all the moments are tumbling through Like the clouds I will leave them behind They fade I want to fade
Is there a place for me Somewhere Is there a place for me From stone against stone against stone in my way
Cry that holds me down Is closer than the fear of what's to come Somehow I must change Uncertainty has left me here undone Search through the stars and the shapes in the sky for the day I will find Look for a sign with my eyes I could see as it quiets my mind They fade I want to fade
Is there a place for me Somewhere Is there a place for me From stone against stone against stone in my way
Out, Out of my hands These prisoner's hands that carved me through with stone And that's the stone of my heart A prisoner's heart that can't feel love I'm told Told of another time Another place Another Is there a place for me somewhere
I'm getting younger every day Every fading day, world How could you possibly explain My hatred of you
Don't want to sleep, An empty eye That look at me when I despise Go anywhere, as far away Lie quietly down And die in shame
Hysteria - I'm giving my life to you Unknown - It's all that's left to do Hysteria - Throwing my life away Unknown - For you to rip ways Hysteria - Make me okay
And do you recall, That we used to walk around in the very central point of this world And shall I recall Well the feelings felt, the force to the sun
Might I say It's sometimes good to know that you're insane Might I say I get the feeling I could be the same
Hysteria - I'm giving my life to you Unknown - It's all that's left to do Hysteria - I'm throwing my life away Unknown - For you to rip ways Hysteria - Make me okay Hysteria, hysteria, hysteria
I am divided every day Every night to day, should Oh should I not choose to explain My hatred of you
That living me That talking me That hear the cry I would be free To anyway as far away Lies quietly sound Whose dying shame
Hysteria - I'm giving my life to you Unknown - It's all that's left to do Hysteria - I'm throwing my life away Unknown - For you to rip ways Hysteria - Make me okay
Out there Out so far I know you can't see Oh so close, so close you can't see They are living their lives just to crucify me
In here I wonder what the meaning could be I wonder why it's following me I am living my life to pretend that I'm not me
World outside my window Falling down World outside my inside Upside down
Out there They are out to get me you know They're trying to find out just what I know They are using their time just to petrify me Oh let me go Let me go, I don't know I don't know, I don't know
World outside my window Falling down World outside my inside Upside down
Everybody has told me That they know what is true Everything that they've told me Amounts to nothing I can use
In there In so deep that no one can see Over what they don't want to see They are living this lie in order to single out me In here I want to stay in here, make it clear Stay away from me, can't you see I am living this way just to keep you away
World outside my window Falling down World outside my inside Upside down

누군가는 이들의 음악을 두고 내성적이며 소심하다고 말했단다. 그런데 이 앨범을 듣고 있노라면 왠지 그 내성적인 모습에 고개를 끄덕이게 될 것 같고, 그 소심함이 빚어낸 부끄러움에 묘한 환희를 맛볼 수 있어 그리 허황된 표현도 아닐 것만 같은 기분이 들고 만다. 아아. 내성적인 사람이 받아...
