Check the bedroom for the child
You know he wants you,
He’s just waiting for you there.
Look in the mirror for his mother,
She’s just waiting for
His dreams to come
Check the bedroom for the child,
You know his dreams are just a lie,
Just wait...
Put the bars into the bathtub
Wait for your spirit to
Come back
Woman inside the mirror,
Monsters creeping under your bed.
Man living in your attic
This is all in your head, don’t you know
What are you thinking, this is getting old
Turn off the lights
And just relax
Please sleep
Feed the monster in your body
While it eats away
At your soul
Woman inside the mirror,
Monsters creeping under your bed,
Man living in your attic
This is all in your head, don’t you know
What are you thinking, This is getting old
Dreams to reality
You gotta go home and see him sound asleep
Why can’t he be that way?
But you see him sitting, restlessly
Check the bedroom for the child
You know he wants you,
He’s still waiting for you there
Woman inside the mirror,
Monsters creeping under your bed
Man living in your attic
This is all in your head, don't you know
What are you thinking, this is getting old

Falling

Falling slowly, nothing’s under me
Facing the edge of time is killing me
Why I’m pinching myself, just a dream
A fear of falling, can’t you see?
A fear of falling, nothing more
Nothing beneath me, just the floor
Stuck in a world where nothing’s right
Feels like I’m falling, but I’m fine
Crashing- fast everything is under me
Blurry eyes opening to a world that’s free
Now I know that I’m awakening
A fear of falling, can’t you see?
A fear of falling, nothing more
Nothing beneath me, just the floor
Stuck in a world where nothing’s right
Feels like I’m falling, but I’m fine

Do you realize,
You try to make an outline,
But worse enough you’re already stuck inside?
Are you so blind-
Crossing to the other side,
Just to become something you know you're not
In time
We are the ones
Who met at different costs
So you sit there,
Thinking back without a care
Waiting for someone to knock you dead
In time,
We are the ones
Who met at different costs
In time,
I am the one who changed,
To change myself -
Not someone else
Why can’t it work?
What your never sayin' is
That I'll do it right now
You’re never gonna let me down
You know
I’m not afraid of anything
That’ll come my way
You are gonna be replaced,
You know
Not gonna let me down
Not gonna bring me down
Get up when you push me down
You know
Not gonna let me down
Not gonna bring me down
Get up when you push me down
You know
Why can’t it work?
What your never sayin' is
That I'll do it right now
You’re never gonna let me down,
You know
I’m not afraid of anything
That’ll come my way
You are gonna be replaced,
You know
Not gonna let me down
Get up when you push me down
Not gonna bring me down
You know
Not gonna let me down
Get up when you push me down
Not gonna bring me down
You know
Do you realize X 6
Do you realize
You try to make an outline,
But worse enough you’re already stuck inside

Lockdown

Sun comes up and we get ready
Turning on initial settings
No one ever planned for this at all
Lockdown drills and termination
Planning for evacuation
Running, never walking down the hall
Running out of time,
Trying to survive
Never looking back, just see
The world before your eyes
Running out of time
Trying to survive
Never looking back, just see
The world before your eyes!
Hear the rhythm of the marching
Power up, the motor starting
Quiet hum is driving me insane
Spreading lies and mass deception
Dreaming of emancipation
Making sure that we all feel the pain
Running out of time,
Trying to survive
Never looking back, just see
The world before your eyes
Running out of time,
Trying to survive
Never looking back, just see
The world before your eyes!
Is this the end?
Is this the end?
Is this the end?
Running out of time,
Trying to survive
Never looking back, just see
The world before your eyes
Running out of time,
Trying to survive
Never looking back, just see
The world before your eyes!
Is this the end?
Is this the end?
Is this the.....
