NEW MILLENNIUM 

[ music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Portnoy ]

 
A single star behind me. A red sky burns ahead.
A lonely light below me. Awake among the dead.
An overwhelming feeling. Leaves me numband strange.
A sense of new beginning. I sense a wind of change.

Out with the old useless. People so cold ruthless welcome.
In a new millennium.
How many times must I.
Live out this nightmare I Can't wait until
a new millennium.

I've got this feeling. The tide is turning now baby.
Funny feeling everything's gonna be alright now.

Living out a constant deja vu. Keep your head up.
Please be patient we will get to you. Keep your head up.
Just have some faith and you can see it .
Through Keep your head up.
But faith don't pay the rent that's overdue. Keep your head up.
All that's glittering is turning blue. Keep your head up.
What they want from me ain't gotta clue. Keep your head up.
Swallow pride before it swallows you. Keep your head up.
Don't dare bite the hand that's starving you. Keep your head up.

How can you keep your head.
And not go insane when the only light at the end.
Of the tunnel is another train.

The lies ten feet tall. Have broken my fall.
Welcome you all new millennium.

It's well overdue and I can't wait to.
Welcome in a new millennium.
I've got this feeling. The tide is turning now baby.
Funny feeling. Everything's gonna be alright now.

I've got this feeling. The tide is turning now baby.
Funny feeling everything's gonna be alright now.
I've got this feeling. The tide is turning now baby.
Funny feeling everything's gonna be alright now.

YOU NOT ME 

[ music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Petrucci & Desmond Child ]

Being round you is driving me crazy.
Watching you run is making me lazy.
You're trying to buy a place in my head.
Telling me lines I've already read.
Speaking my name to try to confuse me.
Say it again you're starting to lose me.

That's alright I'm okay. It happens every single day.
It's all the same. But I'm not blind.

It's all about you not me.
It's all about the things
That you're expecting me to be.
There's not enough time to live.
And all that you're expecting me to give.

It's all about you not me.
It's all about you not me.

You're building my prison brick by brick.
Eating your words is making me sick.
You get what you want.
Cause nothing is sacred.
You're reading my mind.
And leaving me naked.
You say I gotta give before I receive it.
One of these days I'll believe it.

It's all about you not me.
It's all about the things.
That you're expecting me to be.
There's not enough time to live.
And all that you're expecting me to give.

It's all about you not me.
It's all about you not me.

PURUVIAN SKIES 

[ Music by Dream Theater & Lyric by Petrucci ]

There, there it is.
I swear he's gonna murder that poor kid.
Wait, I hear it again.
Don't turn on the lights until we. Hear the way it ends.

Under peruvian skies. Vanessa regretfully waits.
The story unfolds in her eyes.
Where midnight hysteria's. No big surprise.
Battered and bruised. Always confusing
The love that she's losing for hate.
Poor Vanessa. Poor Vanessa.

Hey, I hope you know.
I'm taking all of this time with me when I go.
Shame, you're not to blame.
I'm the monster you created. In your daddy's name.

Under peruvian skies. Vanessa regretfully waits.
The story unfolds in her eyes.
Where midnight hysteria's No big surprise.
Battered and bruised. Always confusing
The love that she's losing for hate.
Poor Vanessa. Poor Vanessa.

Terror by night. Liar by day.
Telling her secrets. Won't take them away.

Under peruvian skies. Vanessa regretfully waits.
The story unfolds in her eyes.
Where midnight hysteria's. No big surprise
Battered and bruised. Always confusing.
The love that she's losing for hate.
Poor Vanessa. Poor Vanessa.

HOLLOW YEARS 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Petrucci ]

He's just the kind of man. You hear about.
Who leaves his family. For an easy out.
They never saw the signs. He never said a word.
He couldn't take another day.

Carry me to the shoreline. Bury me in the sand.
Walk me across the water. And maybe you'll understand.

Once the stone. You're crawling under. Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining. Over you head disappears
The noise that you'll hear. Is the crashing down of hollow years

She's not the kind of girl. You hear about.
She'll never want another. She'll never be without.
She'll give you all the signs. She'll tell you everything.
Then turn around and walk away.

Carry me to the shoreline. Bury me in the sand.
Walk me across the water. And maybe you'll understand.

Once the stone. You're crawling under. Is lifted off your shoulders.
Once the cloud that's raining. Over you head disappears.
The noise that you'll hear. Is the crashing down of hollow years.

Carry me to the shoreline. Bury me in the sand.
Walk me across the water. And maybe you'll understand.

Once the stone. You're crawling under. Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining. Over you head disappears
The noise that you'll hear. Is the crashing down of hollow years

BURNING MY SOUL 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Portnoy ]

A thorn in my side, a chip on my shoulder.
A lump in my throat, the size of a boulder.
The chill up my spine, can't get any colder.
And you wonder why I can't smile.

A knot in my gut, an ape on my back.
In the heat of the moment, I'm knocked off the track.
You drop the ball, I pick up the slack.
And you ask me why my hairs gray.

Twisting, turning. Losing all sense of yearning.
Living and learning. The pressure keeps on burning my soul.
Burning my soul ... burning my soul ...

I say it's green and then you tell me it's red.
Keep your thoughts and ideas.
Locked inside of your head.
We've got someone. Who can think for you instead.
And he sounds just like the last one.

Twisting, turning. Losing all sense of yearning.
Living and learning. The pressure keeps on burning my soul.
Burning my soul ... burning my soul ...

Responsible thinkers. Throw caution to the wind.
But I find myself. Speaking from within.
I can't live my life. Walking on eggshells.
To stay on your good side.

Using your words. Controlling my life.
Can't you see it's my words. That gives you your life.
So I hurt your feelings. Well I'm really sorry.
But I don't give a shit... no.....

Twisting, turning. Losing all sense of yearning.
Living and learning. The pressure keeps on burning my soul.
Burning my soul ... burning my soul ...

LINES IN THE SAND 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Petrucci ]

Sometimes, for a moment of bliss.
And the passion, we're craving. There's a message we miss.
Sometimes when the spirits left alone.
We must believe in something. To find if we've grown.

Tragic reflex, shattered calm.
Static progress, senses gone.
Numb awareness, final psalm.

Swept away with the tide.
Through the holes in my hands.
Crown of thorns at my side.
Drawing lines in the sand.

Sometimes, if you're perfectly still.
You can hear the virgin weeping.
For the savior of your will.
Sometimes, your castles in the air.
And the fantasies you're seeking.

Are the crosses you bear.

Sacred conflict, blessed prize.
Weeping crosses, stainless eyes.
Desperate addict, faith disguised.

Swept away with the tide.
Through the holes in my hands.
Crown of thorns at my side
Drawing lines in the sand.

We fabricate our demons. Invite them into our homes.
Have supper with the aliens. And fight the war alone.
We conjure up our skeletons. Enlist the den of thieves.
Frightened from our closets. Then sewn upon our sleeves.

In the stream of consciousness.
There is a river crying.
Living comes much easier.

Once we admit. We're dying.

Sometimes, in the wreckage of our wake.
There's a bitterness we harbor.
And hate for hatred's sake.
Sometime we dig an early grave.
And crucify our instincts.
For the hope we couldn't save.

Sometimes a view from sinless eyes.
Centers our perspective. And pacifies our cries.
Sometimes the anguish we survive.
And the mysteries we nurture.
Are the fabrics of our lives.

Swept away with the tide.
Through the holes in my hands.
Crown of thorns.
At my side drawing lines in the sand.

TAKE AWAY MY PAIN 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Petrucci ]

I was sitting on the edge of his bed.
Staring at the headlines on the paper.
He said, "look at poor gene Kelly.
I guess he won't be singing in the rain."
You can take away my heroes.
Can you take away my pain.

Take away my pain. Leave the cold outside.
Please don't let it rain. Don't stumble on my pride.
Take away my pain. I'm not frightened any more.
Just stay with me tonight. I'm tired of this fight.
Soon I'll be knocking at your door.

She was standing by the edge of his bed.
Staring at the message on their faces.
He said, "what else can you do babe?
I guess I won't be coming home again."
They just took away all my promises.
Make them take away my pain.

Take away my pain. Leave the cold outside
Please don't let it rain. Don't stumble on my pride
Take away my pain. I'm not frightened any more
Just stay with me tonight. I'm tired of this fight
Soon I'll be knocking at your door

His final scene. The actor bows.
And all those years. Are gone somehow.
The crowd applauds. The curtain falls.

I was standing by the edge of the water.
I noticed my reflection in the waves.
Then I saw you looking back at me.
And I knew that for a moment.
You were calling out my name.
You took away my hero.
Will you take away my pain.

Take away my pain. Let the cold inside.
It's time to let it rain. There's nothing left to hide.
Take away my pain. I'm not frightened any more.
I'm learning to survive. Without you in my life.
Til you come knocking at my door.......

JUST LET ME BREATHE  

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Portnoy ]

Open your eyes. And turn off your mind.
Step right up folks and you will find.
Agrowing trend. An epidemic.
Spread with zen. And hypodermics.
yeah .... yeah ....

Just close your mind.
You can find all you need with your eyes.

The big machines take care of.
You until you kill yourself.
And then the sales go through the roof.
Calculated, formulated.
Feed my head with simple thoughts.
And let me breathe instead of being taught.
All bottled up and tearing at the seams.
I'm bored. Just let me breathe.

A daily dose of eMpTyV
Will flush your mind right down the drain.
Shannon Hoon and Kurt Cobain,
Make yourself a household name.

Just close your mind.
You can find all you need with your eyes.

The big machines take care of you.
Until you kill yourself.
And then the sales go through the roof.
Calculated, formulated.
Feed my head with simple thoughts.
And let me breathe instead of being taught.
All bottled up and tearing at the seams.
I'm bored. Just let me breathe.

Strike up your best angst ridden posture.
Manufactured anger.
Let's not forget my legacy.
All my heroes have failed me.
Now they're dead and buried.

Just close your mind.
You can find all you need with your eyes.

The big machines will take care of you.
Until the fashion fades. And the checks go through.
My bank roll's red and my face is blue.
And still they'll turn their backs on you for Someone new.

Feed my head. With some real thoughts.
And let me think instead. Of being taught.
I'll say things. You won't believe
Just stand back. Just let me breathe.......

ANNA LEE 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by James LaBrie ]

Helpless child.
They invite your hands to fill their needs.
Will you be the same.
Shameless smile.
To steal from you the innocence that bleeds.
Will they feel your pain.

Trying to believe. The scars unseen.
The tears wash clean.
You don't wanna breathe the air you breathe.
You don't know how you'll live a life alone.

She keeps holding on. Holding on to you.
Let her breathe the air.
Don't wanna be alone where do you belong.
Anna lee

Behind those eyes.
The vivid scene A lucid dream within
Questioned secrets are revealed.
And everytime
You can't deny. The lines that trace your skin.
Wounds that never heal.

Trying to believe. The scars unseen.
The tears wash clean.
You don't wanna breathe the air you breathe.
You don't know how you'll live a life alone.

She keeps holding on. Holding on to you.
Let her breathe the air.
Don't wanna be alone where do you belong.
Anna Lee

And now she's calling out a name.
Can't keep on hiding all her pain.
You feel the rain move in. As you begin.
To turn and answer the call.

Trying to believe. The scars unseen
The tears wash clean.
You don't wanna breathe the air you breathe.
You don't know how you'll live a life alone.

She keeps holding on. Holding on to you
Let her breathe the air.
Don't wanna be alone where do you belong
Anna Lee

TRIAL OF TEARS 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Myung ]

Under the sun, there is nothing to hide.
Under the moon, the stranger waits inside.
People disappear.The music fades away.
Splashing through the rain. I'll dream with them one day.
It's raining, raining, On the streets of New York city.
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven.

I may have wasted all those years.
They're not worth their time in tears.
I may have spent too long in darkness.
In the warmth of my fears.

Take a look at yourself. Not at anyone else.
And tell me what you see. I know the air is cold.
I know the streets are cruel. But I'll enjoy the ride today.

It's raining, raining, On the streets of New York city.
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven.

I may have wasted all those years.
They're not worth their time in tears.
I may have spent too long in darkness.
In the warmth of my fears.

As I walk through all my myths.
Rising and sinking like the waves.
With my thoughts wrapped around me.
Through a trial of tears.

Hidden by disguise, stumbling in a world.
Feeling uninspired, he gets into his car.
Not within his eyes to see, open up, open up.
Not much better than the man you hate.

Still awake. I continue to move along.
Cultivating my own nonsense.
Welcome to the wasteland.
Where you'll find ashes, nothing but ashes.
Still awake.
Bringing change, bringing movement, Bringing life
A silent prayer thrown away, Disappearing in the air.
Rising, sinking, raining deep inside me
Nowhere to turn, I look for a way back home.

It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven.
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven.
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven.
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven.
