	Lyrics So far it seems to me Life's little mysteries Could not be put in a book No matter how long it took And if you said to me You could see what I see I'd tell you that you're a crook I wouldn't need another look People look like they can fly When their backs are to the wind Sometimes a rose is open wide at night But it's only a picture of a painting That special someone that you thought a saint Is the first one to have sinned Sometimes you think you're falling sound to sleep But in truth you are fainting Zealots and prophets fear The end of the world is near I know it's just begun For better or worse or none Powerful people say That they'll move the world today But I can see all their fears And hear all their silent tears Sometimes I truly do forget That the rich are mortals too That with one word and a subtle wink They could live forever like the painting Even the rose that's not a rose – it knows That it will wilt and lose its hue The proudest king settles down to rest And never knows he is fainting As you sleep my bitter brother, ask yourself "Why have I lost the will to dream?" As you sleep my bitter sister, ask yourself "why have I lost the will to breathe?" Do I have a fear of living, That my life's not what it seems? Am I laughing at my gravestone? Do I have the rage to scream? When you wake up from your slumber, ask yourselves, "What the hell do I believe?" So far it seems to me Everything that I see Is nothing but mystic rites Collusion by candlelight I wonder if I will flee If truth won't come easily And hide in the deepest night A victim of shallow fright I've seen the way the world turns When the sun falls out of view I've seen the madness in an artist's eyes When she can't save her painting I've seen a sky so full of stars That I could tell that it was blue I've seen myself wake up and realize That I have always been fainting Copyright Blue Scheme 2001
