[ music by Dream Theater ]

 
"Six o'clock on a Christmas morning..."
"And for what?"
"Well, isn't it for the honor of God, Aunt Kate?"
"I know all about the honor of God, Mary Jane."

Six o'clock the siren kicks him from a dream.
Tries to shake it off but it just won't stop.
Can't find the strength but he's got promises to keep.
And wood to chop before he sleeps.

I may never get over.
but never's better than now.
I've got bases to cover.

He's in the parking lot, and he's just sitting in his car.
It's nine o'clock but he can't get out.
He lights a cigarette,and turns the music down.
but just can't seem to shake that sound.

Once I thought I'd get over.
but it's too late for me now.
I've got bases to cover.

Melody walks through the door.
and memory flies out the window.
and nobody knows what they want.
'til they finally let it all go.

The pain inside. Coming outside.
The pain inside. Coming outside.
The pain inside. Coming outside.

So many ways to drown a man.
So many ways to drag him down.
Some are fast and some take years and years.
Can't hear what he's saying when he's talking in his sleep.
He finally found the sound but he's in too deep.

I could never get over.
Is it too late for me now?.
Feel like blowing my cover.

Melody walks through the door.
and memory flies out the window.
and nobody knows what they want.
'til they finally let it all go.

But don't cut your losses too soon.
'cause you'll only be cutting your throat.
And answer a call while you still hear at all.
'cause nobody will if you won't.


"Six o'clock on a Christmas morning..."
"I know all about the honor of God, Mary..."
"I know all about the honor of God, Mary Jane."

CAUGHT IN A WEB 

[ music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Petrucci ]

Silence disguised. I watch you.
Show me the hurt. that haunts you.
would you despise the thrill.
If all you hide were mine?

I can't hold on any longer.
These feelings keep growing stronger.
Echoes that deafen the mind.
will bury my voice in their wake.

Caught in a Web. Removed from the world.
Hanging on by a thread. Spinning the lies.
devised in my head.

I've seen the path. the one you take.
shows the truth. for you to make.
This turn of phrase. we might not see.
is the thirst of desire. found so easily.

Try to push me 'round. the world some more.
And make me live in fear. I bare all that I am
made of now. Attractive I don't care.
'Cause even when I danced with life.
no one was there to share.

Does this voice the wounds of your soul?
Does this voice the wounds of your soul?

Caught in a Web. Removed from the world
Hanging on by a thread. Spinning the lies.
devised in my head.

Tried to live the life. you live and saw.
It doesn't work for me.
I bare all that I am. made of now.
Attractive, I can't be.
Inside the Dance of Life is one.
I'll never hold to me

You can't heal the wounds of my soul.
You can't heal the wounds of my soul.

Caught in a Web. Removed from the world.
Hanging on by a thread. Spinning the lies
devised in my head.

Caught in a Web. Refused by the world.
Hanging on by a thread. Spinning a cage.
Denied and misread.

INOCANCE FADED 

[ Music & Lyric by Dream Theater ]

Animation. breathes a cloudless mind.
Fascination. leaves the doubting blind.
Until the circle breaks and wisdom lies ahead.
the faithful live Awake
the rest remain misled

Some will transcend spinning years
One as if time disappears

Innocence faded. the mirror falls behind you.
Trinity jaded. I break down walls to find you.

Callow and vain. fixed like a fossil, shrouding pain.
Passionless stage. Distant like brothers.
Wearing apathetic displays. Sharing flesh like envy in cages.
Condescending. Not intending to end.

Some will transcend spinning years
One as if time disappears

Innocence faded. the mirror falls behind you
Trinity jaded. I break down walls to find you

Beginnings get complicated. the farther we progress
Opinions are calculated. Immune to openness

Beyond the circle's edge. We're driven by her blessings
Forever hesitating. Caught beneath the wheel

Innocence faded. the mirror falls behind you
Cynically jaded. The child will crawl to find you.

VOICES 

[ Music by Dream Theater ]

'Love, just don't stare'. He used to say to me very Sunday morning.
The spider in the window. The angel in the pool.
The old man takes the poison. Now the widow makes the rules.

'So speak, I'm right here'. She used to say to me. not a word, not a word.
Judas on the ceiling. the Devil in my bed.
I guess Easter's never coming. So I'll just wait inside my head.

Like a scream but sort of silent.
living off my nightmares.

Voices repeating me.
'Feeling threatened?. We reflect your hopes and fears.'
Voices discussing me.
'Others steal your thoughts. they're not confined within your mind.'

Thought disorder. Dream control.
Now they read my mind on the radio.
But where was the Garden of Eden?

I feel elated. I feel depressed.
Sex is death, Death is sex.
Says it right here on my Crucifix.

Like a scream but sort of silent.
living off my nightmares.

Voices protecting me.
'Good behavior brings the Savior to his knees.'
Voices rejecting me
'Others steal your thoughts they're not confined to your own mind.'

[Dialogue]
"I don't wanna be here, 'cause of my suffering, 'cause of my illness.
Only love is worth having, only love is what matters,
loving every people on equal terms. "
"You've got to know who you're
dealin' with because, like a stranger,
a-heh, just might come in through
here with a gun... and then, whatwould you do? (Heh.)"
"Everything is immaterial..."
"'n' you know that reality is immaterial."
"This is not reality..."

I'm kneeling on the floor. staring at the wall
like the spider in the window. I wish that I could speak.
Is there fantasy in refuge? God in politicians?
Should I turn on my religion?
These demons in my head tell me to

I'm lying here in bed.
Swear my skin is inside out.
Just another Sunday morning.

Seen my diary on the newsstand.
Seems we've lost the truth to quicksand.
It's a shame no one is praying.
'Cause these voices in my head keep saying...

'Love, just don't stare.'
'Reveal the Word when you're supposed to'
With drawn and introverted. Infectiously perverted
'Being laughed at and confused
keeps us pleasantly amused enough to stay.'

Maybe I'm just Cassandra fleeting
Twentieth century Icon bleeding
Willing to risk Salvation
to escape from isolation

I'm witness to redemption
heard you speak but never listened
Can you rid me of my secrets?
Deliver us from Darkness?

Voices repeating me
'Feeling threatened? We reflect your hopes and fears.'
Voices discussing me
Don't expect your own Messiah This neverworld which you desire
is only in your mind.

THE SILENT MAN 

[ Music by Dream Theater ]

A question well served, 'Is silence like a fever?'
'A voice never heard?' 'Or a message with no receiver?'

Pray they won't ask.
Behind the stained glass.
There's always one more mask.

Has man been a victim. of his woman, of his father?
if he elects not to bother, will he suffocate their faith?

Desperate to fall.
Behind the Great Wall.
That separates us all.

When there is reason. Tonight I'm Awake.
When there's no answer. Arrive the Silent Man.

If there is balance. Tonight He's Awake.
If they have to suffer. There lies the Silent Man

Sin without deceivers. A God with no believers.
I could sail by on the Winds of Silence.
And maybe they won't notice.
But this time I think. It'd be better if I swim.

When there is reason. Tonight I'm Awake.
When there's no answer. Arrive the Silent Man.
If there is balance. Tonight he's Awake.
But if they have to suffer. There lies the Silent Man.
There lies the Silent Man.

THE MIROR 

[ Music by Dream Theater ]

Temptation-
Why won't you leave me alone?
Lurking Every Corner, everywhere I go.

Self Control-
Don't turn your back on me now.
When I need you the most.

Constant pressure tests my will.
My will or my won't.
My Self Control escapes from me still...

Hypocrite-
How could you be so cruel.
and expect my faith in return?

Resistance-
Is not as hard as it seems.
When you close the door.

I spent so long trusting in you
I trust you forgot
Just when I thought I believed in you...

[Sample is Meryl Streep from the film "Falling In Love".]
"What're you doing?
What're you doing?"

It's time for me to deal
Becoming all too real
living in fear-
Why did you lie and pretend?
This has come to an end
I'll never trust you again
It's time you made your amends
Look in the mirror my friend

[Sample is Jeremy Irons from the film "Damage".]
"That I haven't behaved as I should"
[Sample is Mary Beth Hurt from the film "Light Sleeper".]
"Everything you need is around you. The only danger is inside you."
[Sample is Jeremy Irons from the film "Damage".]
"I thought you could control life, but it's not like that. There are things you can't control."

Let's stare the problem right in the eye.
It's plagued me from coast to coast.
Racing the clock to please everyone.
All but the one who matters the most.

Reflections of reality.
are slowly coming into view.
How in the hell could you possibly forgive me?
After all the hell I put you through.

It's time for me to deal.
Becoming all too real.
living in fear-
Why'd I betray my friend?
Lying until the end.
Living life so pretend.
It's time to make my amends.
I'll never hurt you again.

LIE 

[ Music by Dream Theater ]

Daybreak.
at the bottom of lake. it's a hundred degrees I can't breathe.
And I won't get out. 'til I figure it out.
Though I'm weak like I can't believe.
So you tell me 'trust me' l can trust you.
Just let me show you.
But I gotta work it out in a shadow of doubt.
'cause I don't know if I know you.

Doing fine but don't waste my time.
Tell me what it is you want to say.
You sin, you win, just let me in - hurry.
I've been out in the rain all day.
So you tell me 'trust me' I can trust you.
as far as I can throw you.
And I'm trying to get out of a shadow of doubt.
'cause I don't know if I know you.

Don't tell me you wanted me.
Don't tell me you thought of me.
I won't, I swear I won't. (Did)
I'll try, I swear I'll try. (Lie)

Mother Mary quite contrary.
Kiss the boys and make them wary.
Things are getting just a little bit scary.
It's a wonder I can still breathe.

Never been much of a doubting Thomas.
but nothing breaks like a broken promise.
You tell me 'bout your two more coming.
but once is just enough for me.

Don't tell me you wanted me.
Don't tell me you thought of me.
I won't, I swear I won't. (Did)
I'll try, I swear I'll try. (Lie)

I had gotten used to being a soul destroyed
She comes in apparently to fill the void
All dogs need a leash and at least I'll forget it
And she would never hurt me though
she's never said it
But I'm not gonna ask her today
I don't wanna scare her away
Your town, I'm all alone
and I just can't stare at the phone
I wanna talk about lifelong mistakes
and you can tell your stepfather I said so

LIFTING SHADOW OF A DREAM  

[ Music by Dream Theater  ]

He seems alone and silent. Thoughts remain without an answer.
Afraid and uninvited. he slowly drifts away.

Moved by desire and fear. Breaking delicate wings

Lifting shadows. off a Dream once broken.
She can turn a drop of water. Into an ocean.

As the rain is pouring down. Tears of sorrow wash his mind.
Drifting with the current. This stream of life flows on.

He seems alone and silent. waiting on his hands and knees.
The chill of winter's darkness sits quietly.

Moved by desire and fear. he takes a few steps away.

Lifting shadows. off a Dream once broken.
She can turn a drop of water. Into an ocean.

And she listens openly. he pours ....
And she listens openly.

He pours his soul into the water. reflecting the mystery.
She carries him away. and the winds die slowly.

And she listens openly.
And she listens openly.

Lifting shadows. off a Dream once broken.
She can turn a drop of water. Into an ocean.

Lifting Shadows off a Dream.
Lifting Shadows off a Dream.

SCARRED 

[ Music by Dream Theater ]

To Rise, To Fall. To Hurt, To Hate.
To Want, To Wait. To Heal, To Save.

Can't hear it, we fear it
awareness won't come near it.

Distractive. Reactive.
Disguised in spite of time.

I never bared my emotion
My passion always strong
I never lost my devotion
but somewhere fate went wrong

Can't let them rape me again
Your venom's not family here
won't let them fill me with
fatalistic remedies

What if the rest of the world
was hopelessly blinded by fear?
Where would my sanctity live?
Suddenly nobody cares.

It's never enough
You're wasting your time
Isn't there something I could say?
You don't understand
You're closing me out
How can we live our lives this way?

You tell me I'm wrong
I'm risking my life
Still, I have nothing in return
I show you my hands
You don't see the scars
Maybe you'll leave me here to burn.

What if the rest of the world
was hopelessly drowning in vain?
Where would our self pity run?
Suddenly everyone cares.

Blood...Heal me
Fear...Change me
Belief will always save me
Blood...Swearing
Fear...Staring
Conviction made aware

Give up on misery
Turn your back on dissent
Leave their distrust behind
Wash your hands of regret

Do you feel you don't know me anymore?
And do you feel I'm afraid of your love?
And how come you don't want me asking?
And how come my heart's not invited?
You say you want everyone happy
Well, we're not laughing.

And how come you don't understand me?
And how come I don't understand you?
Thirty years say we're in this together
So open your eyes.

People in prayer for me
everyone there for me
Sometimes I feel I should face this alone
My soul exposed
It calms me to know that I won't

Blood...Heal me
Fear...Change me
Belief will always save me
Blood...Swearing
Fear...Staring
Conviction made aware

Give up on misery
Turn your back on dissent
Leave their distrust behind
Wash your hands of regret

Blood...Heal me
Fear...Change me
Belief will always save me
Blood...Swearing
Fear...Staring
Conviction made aware

Learning from misery
Staring back at dissent
Leaving distrust behind
I'm inspired and content

SPACE DYE VEST 

[ Music by Dream Theater ]

Falling through pages of Martens on angels.
Feeling my heart pull west.
I saw the future dressed as a stranger.
love in a space-dye vest.

Love is an act of blood and I'm bleeding.
a pool in the shape of a heart.
Beauty projection in the reflection.
Always the worst way to start.

[Dialouge]
"But he's the sort who can't know
anyone intimately, least of all a woman.
He doesn't know what a woman is.
He wants you for a possession,
something to look at like a painting or an ivory box.
Something to own and to display. He doesn't want you to be real,
or to think or to live. He doesn't love you, but I love you.
I want you to have your own thoughts and ideas and
feelings, even when
I hold you in my arms. It's our last chance... It's our
last chance..."

Now that you're gone I'm trying to take it.
Learning to swallow the rage.
Found a new girl I think we can make it.
as long as she stays on the page.

This is not how I want it to end.
And I'll never be open again.

[Dialouge]
"...I was gonna move out...ummm...get,
get a job, get my own place, ummm,
but... I go into the mall where I
want to work and they tell me, I'm,
I was too young..."
"Some people, gave advice before,about facing the facts, about
facing reality. And this is, this
without a doubt, is his biggest
challenge ever. He's going to have to face it.
You're gonna have to try, he's gonna to have to try and,
uh, and, and, and get some help here. I mean no one can
say they know how he feels."
"That, so they say that, in ya knowlike, Houston or something, you'd
say it's a hundred and eighty degrees,
but it's a dry heat.
In Houston they say that?
Oh, maybe not. I'm all mixed up.
Dry until they hit the swimming pool."

[Sample from "The Trouble With Evan", from the Canadian series "The Fifth Estate".]
"...I get up with the sun... Listen.
You have your own room to sleep in,
I don't care what you do. I don't
care when. That door gets locked,
that door gets locked at night by nine o'clock.
If you're not in this house by nine o'clock, then you'd
better find some
place to sleep. Because you're not going to be a bum in
this house.
Supper is ready..."

There's no one to take my blame if they wanted to.
There's nothing to keep me sane and it's all the same to you.
There's nowhere to set my aim so I'm everywhere.
Never come near me again do you really think I need you.

I'll never be open again, I could never be open again.
I'll never be open again, I could never be open again.

And I'll smile and I'll learn to pretend.
And I'll never be open again.
And I'll have no more dreams to defend.
And I'll never be open again.
