Over the Rainbow (feat. Derek Sherinian) [demo]

Somewhere over the rainbow there's a sky up in the air

A tapestry above, and no one's there

Looking for a black cat … in the darkness of your mind

You may wish upon a star - but there's just nothing there to find

Sometimes over the rainbow

You see clouds in silhouette

Looking like the feeling that you get

Your head is spinning round and round,

A clockwork revolution

The wonder of the rising sun

Is a flat out revelation

When it dawns on you…

Something … over the rainbow

Made to perfection

With appendages

Impossible to ascertain like any other mind-control campaign

Equal probability and premise is the same

Some say … the sun was made on … the 4th of days,

But how had four days passed if that's the case?

What's asserted without proof

Can be dismissed with just the same

No hitches in the matrix

The way things really are

Whatcha gonna do when you catch a lie?

Do you know?

Will it come as a surprise when the truth gets in your eyes?

Who you gonna be? Whatcha gonna say?

Where you go

Just remember that sometimes it's turtles all the way

Lucid

Can you think on your own?

When you see the light,

Shining bright

What thoughts have you outgrown?

Lucid

Being told what to do?

The man behind the curtain will not tell you what is true

Somersaults in a side show

From a long time ago

A crutch like DX Machina

Won't help to make it so

It stands to reason

That infinite regress

Mirrors facing mirrors

As good as anybody's guess

Someday under the rainbow

A world of true authenticity

Facts over feelings

Fundamentals of reality.

No unnecessary entities,

Assumptions or complexities

Ontological extravagances

The way things really are

Whatcha gonna do when they ask you why?

Where d'you stand?

On shoulder of giants,

Or shield toads marching by?

When you gonna see that it's all charades

Empty illusions

Just look at all the turtles,

A mind numbing parade

Lucid

With a mind of your own?

No blind obedience

Parroting, echoes of what you're shown?

Lucid

Or a puppet on a string?

Following your masters voice

Acting with no choice

So you … keep on searching In the depths of your soul

Deep down in your conscience

Lies the truths to make you whole

Your substantiated certainties

Your truths all in disguise

They sneak up on you,

Right before your eyes

Whatcha gonna find, in the bluest sky?

Nothing at all.

So spread your wings out wide

And learn to fly

Lucid

Thinking clear and bold?

When you see the light,

Shining bright

The stories that unfold

Lucid

Do you Know what is true?

Or are you stuck in fiction,

Fairy tales?

Thoughts that you once knew?
