As my parents unravel the entangled threads of my reality

Not of design but by accident
My perception in question

And rise…
A Window of the Waking Mind
[Verse 3]
Fm
Here’s a simple story
And I hope I tell it well

Of a boy locked in a place
His mind, the very cell

Imprisoned with his wild visions
Of every time in space

The thing that complicates it
Is his parents and who they are

The law they’re made to run from
Beyond the House of the Stars

The birth must be in secret
So no prying eyes can see

There’s no one of this world quite like him

We don’t know what to do

Patronizing doctors
With their diagnostic leads

Carry on your query
It’s blood, the boy, he bleeds

But you can’t see him like you
So a monster he must be

There’s no one in this world quite like him

To find what’s normal… is being normal
