I just have to say reading all of these comments makes my eyes well up. That there are so many that hold this song dear the way that I have and will always. As a survivor of mental abusive parents, I suffered through many bouts of reoccurring nightmares as a child with no one to comfort me when I needed it most, just laughter and mocking of my screams. Silent Lucidity came out when I was 12 years old and it let me know that I was not alone. It taught me through the power of the mind that I could conquer my fears. Thank you so much Chris DeGarmo for this great song that touched my heart and soul in so many ways....
