In a life of dreams
Things aren't all they seem
Every prison's not a cage
And I've learned one thing for sure
All things must change

So I've lived my life
Through rose colored eyes
Life's so unreal from the stage
But the limelight fades away
All things must change

There is no rhyme, there is no reason
Don't look to me for answers
I'll give you metaphors
And though a lying heart is treason
My only fear is sorrow
My pain is in the score
And nothing more

Senses overload
Fields of depth explode
Mental fabric starts to fray
False reality
Life's triviality
Psychotic images remain

As I live the passion play
Ooh all things must change
Have I thrown my life away?
All things must change

Corporate dynasties
Bring me to my knees
Negotiations strangulate
Faceless suited droids
Fight to fill some void
Sacrificial offerings escalate

And they don't know who to blame
All things must change
Lord, I'll never be the same
All things must change

When I've seen it all
Another curtain falls
Depth of feelings hard to gauge
Twisted pictures pass
Through the tainted glass
I relive it all in silent rage

How much can one man endure
All things must change
I'm a symptom and the cure
All things must change
Now I've learned one thing for sure
