The Apparition
[Verse 1]
Now I'm here, can you see me?
'Cause I'm out on my own
When the room goes cold
Tell me you can feel me... 'cause I'm here
Here I am, can you see me?
Passing through, on my way
To a place I'd been to
Only in my dreams... before

[Verse 2]
In a world of delusion
Never turn your back on a friend
'Cause you can count your
Real true friends on one hand... through life
There are those that deceive you
There are those that'll let you down
Is there someone out there that
Would die for you? ...Thought not

[Verse 3]
Live your life with a passion
Everything you do, do well
You only get out of life
What you put in... so they say
In a world of confusion
People never say what they mean
If you want a straight answer
Go look for one... right now
[Verse 4]
In a room full of strangers
Do you stand with your back to the wall?
Do you sometimes feel like you're
On the outside... looking in?
You can make your own luck
You create your destiny
I believe you have the power
If you want to... It's true

[Verse 5]
You can do what you want to
If you try a little bit harder
A little bit of faith
Goes a long way... it does
Are we here for a reason?
I'd like to know just what you think
It would be nice to know what happens
When we die... wouldn't it?

[Verse 6]
There are some who are wise
There are some who are born naive
I believe that there are some that must
Have lived before... don't you?
As for me, well, I'm thinking
You gotta keep an open mind
But I hope that my life's not
An open-and-shut case
[Verse 7]
Extrasensory perception
Life after death, telepathy
Can the soul live on and travel
Through space and time?
You know I feel so elated
'Cause I'm about to find it out
And when I know all the answers
Maybe then I'll come back... to fill you in

[Outro]
You don't be alarmed now
If I try to contact you
If things go missing
Or get moved around... it's me
And don't disbelieve it
No matter what your "friends" might say
We'll meet up again someplace
Some way... one day
