Somewhere in the distance
A dream is turning gray.
Somewhere in the distance
A dreamer turns away--
from the dream
that's been his life--
from the life that's been his way--
And somewhere in the shadows
is where he's going to stay.

Somewhere in his spirit
A wind has come to dwell.
Somewhere in his mind
he's at the edge of Hell.
And no stars
will guide him home
They can't reach to where he fell.
Somewhere along the way
he forgot to mark his trail.

There was a life he wanted to live
But the world wouldn't turn his way
There was a song he wanted to sing
but the wind tore his words away.

Following a twisted road
he became a twisted man.
and to every side--
conformity
was a shadow on the land
and burning with a brighter light
was more than he could stand.

He's lost in a world
that he alone has made.
He's lost in a universe
only a thought away.
Sanity has a price
He's not prepared to pay.

Somewhere in the distance
A dream is turning gray.
Somewhere in the darkness
A dreamer turns away...
