The Sanity Assassin

Lyrics

[Verse 1] See the man of hungry mind Never had a dream to call his own His sin in form of thought He lived to milk the minds of the blind To rule the sea of imagination [Chorus] And the sanity assassin Is coming down to steal your mind So, he takes an innocent's vision The blind lead the blind, they say Meet the sanity assassin A trick of mind or the devil's whim On the way to tomorrow's dream He's fading away [Verse 2] See the man with the empty soul Never had a face or will of his own So, he took another's pride And he made a mask of faults Defensive anger and false emotion [Chorus] And the sanity assassin Is coming down in a stream of black So, he takes what he cannot live The black leads the blind astray Meet the sanity assassin A trick of mind or the devil's whim On the way to tomorrow's dream He's fading away [Bridge 1] Sing your sweet poison, stealer of dreams Bleed your sweet anguish And the form of dreams are born (Eyes, eyes, open your eyes) Don't be afraid to dream outside the lines (Eyes, eyes, open your eyes) Don't be afraid of painting pictures Within your mind (Eyes, eyes, open your eyes) Don't be afraid, your path is not of sorrow (Eyes, eyes, open your eyes) Don't be afraid, dreams are immortal [Bridge 2] Rise in the coming tide Wave after wave of sleep crushing down Hopes of the weakened and knowing Awash in the undertow, falling away Awash [Verse 3] Listen as the tale begins to now unweave The will of strong mind he'll never deceive I speak the words to lay me down I am ever strong Against the all-knowing thief Of imagination [Chorus] And the sanity assassin Is coming down to steal your mind So, he takes an innocent's vision The blind lead the blind, they say Meet the sanity assassin A trick of mind or the devil's whim On the way to tomorrow's dream He's fading away [Outro] Don't be afraid to dream Don't be afraid to dream (Eyes, eyes, open your eyes) Don't be afraid to dream outside the lines (Eyes, eyes, open your eyes) Don't be afraid of painting pictures Within your mind (Eyes, eyes, open your eyes) Don't be afraid, your path is not of sorrow (Eyes, eyes, open your eyes) Don't be afraid Dreams are immortal (Eyes, eyes, open your eyes) Dreams are immortal (Eyes, eyes, open your eyes) Dreams are immortal Dreams are immortal
