When Love Fails

Illusion Suite

He's staring out the window
 As his mother leaves
 He opens a door in his own mind
 To search for the company he'd love to find
 This is the first time that he's left behind
 In Christmas time
 He tries to make food on the floor
 he lights up the firework his mom brought home

 Love fails then something breaks down
 And out of despair when deceived
 He is strengthening his fantasy faculties

 Beating in her daily care
 With a fist that hurts or self-sustaining mind games
 The cracks in the wall are beginning to show now
 Drunk in his bedroom she laughs 'til he wakes
 Then she scares him with faces she makes
 In a soft stream he travels now
 The garden and his fairy let him in

 Into the great unknown...

 I travel down
 Beneath the stones and rocks I go
 It's a lonely, lonely road

 I had a talk with my angels and demons
 On my world of true affliction

 I rolled the dice, what to do, and believe in?
 Which way is the best to walk?

 He narrows his consciousness
 To a state of mind that astral-travels far
 Now is he asleep or awake?
 Alone with his sister he's five years of age
 He doesn't think he can do this alone
 On a soft bed he lays her down
 The window of Anubis lets her in

 He travelled the stars and then back again
 His mother is waiting this time
 On the floor lies his one-year-old sister
 She's lifeless...
