I never wanted to become Someone like him So secure Content to live each day Just like the last I was sure I knew that this was not for me And I wanted so much more Far beyond what I could see So I swore that I'd never be someone like him
So many years have passed since I proclaimed my independance my mission my aim and my vision So secure Content to live each day Like it's my last It's wonderful to know That I could be Something more than what I dreamed Far beyond what I could see Still I swear that I'm missing out this time
As far as I could tell There's nothing more I need But still I ask myself Could this be everything? That all I swore That I would never be was now so suddenly The only thing I wanted To become To be someone just like him
Part 3 (8:45-12:15)
A doctor sitting next to me He asked me how I feel Not sure I understand his questioning He says I've been away a while But thinks he has cured me From a state of catatonic sleep
For 30 years where have I been? Eyes open But not getting through to me
Medicate me Infiltrate me Side effects appear As my conscience slips away Medicate me Science failing Conscience fading fast Can't you stop what's happening?
A higher dosage he prescribes But there's no guarantee I feel it starting to take over me I tell them not to be ashamed There's no-one who's to blame A second shot a brief awakening
I feel the relapse can't break free Eyes open But not getting through to me
Medicate me Infiltrate me Side effects appear As my conscience slips away Medicate me Science failing Conscience fading fast Can't you stop what's happening?

Lucy in the Sky with diamond Dave's not here I come to save the
Day for nightmare Cinema show Me the way to Get back home again
Running forward Falling back Spinning round and round Looking outward Reaching in Scream without a sound

Flying Off the Handle With careful with
That axe Eugene Gene that Dance machine me-

(Second) Asking questions' search for clues The answer's been right in front of you

(Fifth) Tortured insanity' smothering hell Try to escape but to no avail
(sixth) The call of admirers' who claim they adore Drain all your lifeblood but begging for more
(Seventh) Innocent victims of merciless crimes Fall prey to some madmen's impulsive designs
Step after step we try controlling our fate When we finally start living it's become too late
Trapped inside this octavarium Trapped inside this octavarium Trapped inside this octavarium Trapped inside this octavarium

A perfect sphere Colliding with our fate This story ends where it began
