Eye Candy Fantasy

Behold the image behind closed doors
In this world alone you speak your mind
It invades the truth of your waking eyes
A lay decaying your unstable ground

Believe it's true
That it can set you free
Believe in the mind's eye fantasy
It can be anything but redemption
Are you afraid to live...

Fear never leaves always present
Even in the simple dreams where you hide
Evade dodge resist parry or deny reality
Will you stand when the time comes
Not for pride but simply to survive

Believe it's true
That it can set you free
Believe in the mind's eye fantasy
It can be anything but redemption
Are you afraid to live...

Betwixt the nether of a lie ridden reality
Redemption of self isn't the greatest truth
It is the concept of speaking amidst the torment
Even quite simple words for which you never apologize

Even believing it's only half true
That the softly whispered sacrifice can rescue
Not the self but so that it all may continue
Believe in the mind's eye dream
As the fiction dismantles reality
As you fall from your once stable ground
Redemption of life given for a struggle
Were you afraid to live...

I'm so fucking proud
As we look back now
At the day you broke free
Woke from your distant nightmare
To grasp as the waking dream
Just beyond the fear
Of which you used to hide
Welcome to a brighter future
Because of those who chose
To step forward and die

Believe it's true
That it can set you free
Believe in the mind's eye fantasy
It can be anything but redemption
Are you afraid to live...
