TERKUTUK

Lyric :  @RIP Lawas

Kujalani hidup keras ini walau penuh formalitas. 

Kukan tegar untuk menghadapi walau penuh birokrasi.

Tapi banyak orang yang tak kuat hidup sperti ini.

Hidup sperti suatu sandiwara seblum kita mati.

       Walau hati menjerit raja tak mendengar.

       Walau hati memangis raja tak peduli. 

Reff :     

Terkutuklah kamu raja-raja penguasa.

Semua orang meghujatmu dengan sumpah serapah.

Terkutuklah kamu raja-raja penguasa.

Semua orang meghujatmu dengan sumpah serapah.

ah ... ah ... ah ... ah ...

Biarkanlah hidup kami damai jangan kau usik kami.

Biarkanlah hidup kami tentram tanpa adanya problema.

       Walau hati menjerit raja tak mendengar.

       Walau hati memangis raja tak peduli. 

(Lagu ini tercipta karena kesewenangan para pemimpin yang tidak mengerti dan tidak mau mengerti atas orang-orang yang dipimpinnya).

OLIVE  N  POPEYE

Lyric :  @RIP Lawas

Olive in the trouble. Someone disturb her. 

This someone called Brututs. He is sn ugly man.

Coming one hero to help Olive from the trouble.

The hero's name Popeye, The sailorman with a spinach.
Popeye is a strongman. With Cigaretes in the mouth.
Popeye is a strongman. And he can be a romantic man.

Before he help Olive, Popeye eat his spinach.

After Popeye eat his spinach. He become a strongman.

Coming one hero to help Olive from the trouble.
The hero's name Popeye, The sailorman with a spinach.
Popeye is a strongman. With Cigaretes in the mouth.
Popeye is a strongman. And he can be a romantic man.

After Popeye help Olive. Olive says thanks for help.
Olive give one memory. She kiss a Popeye the sailorman

(Lagu ini tercipta karena terinspirasi film kartun Popeye The Sailorman).

DREAM THEATER LYRIC & SONG 9

Album : "Octavarium" (2005)

THE ROOT OF ALL EVIL 

[ music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Mike Portnoy ]

 

Proud enough for you to call me arrogant.
Greedy enough to be labeled a thief.
Angry enough for me to go and hurt a man.
Cruel enough for me to feel no grief.

Never could have just a part of it.
I always need more to get by.
Getting right down to the heart of it.
The root of all evil has been running my whole life.

Dirty enough for me to lust.
Leaving nothing left to trust.
Jealous enough to still feel envious.
Lazy enough to sleep all day.
And let my life just waste away.
Selfish enough to make you wait for me.

Driven blindly by our sins.
Misled so easily.
Entirely ready to leave it behind.
I'm begging to break free.

Take all of me.
The desires. That keep burning deep inside.
Cast them all away.
And help to give me strength to face another day.
I am ready.
Help me be what I can be.

Self-centered fear has got a hold of me.
Clutching my throat.
Self righteous anger running all through me.
Ready to explode.

Procrastination paralyzing me.
Wanting me dead.
These obsessions that keep haunting me.
Won't leave my head.

Help to do for me what I can't do myself.
Take this fear and pain.
I can't break out this prison all alone.
Help me break these chains.

Humility now my only hope.
Won't you take all of me.
Heal this dying soul.

I can feel my body breaking.
I can feel my body breaking.
I'm ready to let it all go.
I can feel my body shaking.
Right down to the foundation.
The root of it all.

Take all of me.
The desires that keep burning deep inside.
Cast it all away.
And help to give me strength to face another day.
I am ready. Help me what I can be.
I am ready. Come to me. Take me away.

THE ANSWER LIES WITHIN

[ music by Dream Theater, lyrics by John Petrucci ]

Look around, Where do you belong.
Don't be afraid, You are not the only one.

Don't let the day go by, Don't let it end.
Don't let a day go by in doubt,
The answer lies within.

Life is short, so learn from your mistakes.
And stand behind, the choices that you made.
Face each day with both eyes open wide.
And try to give, don't keep it all inside.

Don't let the day go by. Don't let it end.
Don't let a day go by, in doubt,
The answer lies within.

You've got the future on your side.
You've gonna be fine now.
I know whatever you decide.
You are gonna shine!!! (shinee).

Don't let the day go by. Don't let it end.
Don't let a day go by, in doubt.
You re ready to begin.

Don't let a day go by in doubt.
The answer lies within.

THESE WALL 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by John Petrucci ]

This is so hard for me.
To find the words to say.
My thoughts are standing still.

Captive inside of me.
All emotions start to hide.
And nothing's getting through.

Watch me, Fading. I'm losing.
All my instincts, Falling into darkness.

Tear down these walls for me.
Stop me from going under.
You are the only one who knows.
I'm holding back.

It's not too late for me,
To keep from sinking further.
(I'm trying to find my way out,
Tear down these walls for me now).

So much uncertainty.
I don't like this feeling.
I'm sinking like a stone.

Each time I try to speak.
There's a voice I'm hearing.
And it changes everything.

Watch me, Crawl from.
The wreckage. Of my silence.
Conversation. Failing.

Tear down these walls for me.
Stop me from going under.
You are the only one who knows.
I'm holding back.

It's not too late for me,
To keep from sinking further.
(I'm trying to find my way out,
Take down these walls).

Everytime you choose to turn away.
Is it worth the price you pay?
Is there someone who will wait for you.
One more time? One more time?

Watch me, Fading.
I'm losing. All my instincts,
Falling into darkness.

Tear down these walls for me.
Stop me from going under.
You are the only one who knows.
I'm holding back.

It's not too late for me,
To keep from sinking further.
(I'm trying to find my way out,
Tear down these walls for me now).

Tear down these walls for me.
It's not too late for me.
Tear down these walls for me.

I WALK BESIDE YOU 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by John Petrucci ]

There's a story in your eyes.
I can see the hurt behind your smile.
For every sign I recognize.
Another one escapes me.

Let me know what plagues your mind.
Let me be the one to know you best.
Be the one to hold you up.
When you feel like you're sinking.

Tell me once again.
What's beneath the pain you're feeling.
Don't abandon me.
Or think you can't be saved.

I walk beside you. Wherever you are.
Whatever it takes. No matter how far.
Through all that may come. And all that may go.
I walk beside you. I walk beside you.

Summon up your ghosts for me.
Rest your tired thoughts upon my hands.
Step inside this sacred place.
When all your dreams seem broken.

Resonate inside this temple.
Let me be the one who understands.
Be the one to carry you.
When you can walk no further.

Tell me once again.
What's below the surface bleeding.
If you've lost your way,
I will take you there.

I walk beside you.Wherever you are.
Whatever it takes. No matter how far.
Through all that may come. And all that may go.
I walk beside you. I walk beside you.

Oh, where everything is wrong.
Oh, where hopelessness surrounds you.
Oh, the sun will rise again.
The tide you swim against.
Will carry you back home.
So don't give up.
Don't give in.

I walk beside you. Wherever you are.
Whatever it takes. No matter how far.
Through all that may come. And all that may go.
I walk beside you. I walk beside you.

PANIC ATTACK 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by John Petrucci ]

All wound up. On the edge. Terrified.

Sleep disturbed. Restless mind. Petrified.

Bouts of fear. Permeate. All I see.

Heightening. Nervousness. Threatens me.

I am paralyzed. So afraid to die.


Caught off guard. Warning signs. Never show.

Tension strikes. Choking me. Worries grow.

Why do I feel so numb.
Is it something to do with where I come from.
Should this be fight or flight.
I don't know why I'm constantly so uptight.

Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest.
Agitated body in distress.
I feel like I'm in danger.
Daily life is strangled by my stress.

A stifling surge. Shooting through all my veins.
Extreme apprehension. Suddenly I'm insane.

Lost all hope for redemption.
A grave situation desperate at best.

Why do I feel so numb.
Is it something to do with where I come from.
Should this be fight or flight.
I don't know why I'm constantly reeling.

Helpless hysteria. A false sense of urgency.
Trapped in my phobia. Possessed by anxiety.

Run. Try to hide.
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium.

Helpless hysteria. A false sense of urgency.
Trapped in my phobia. Possessed by anxiety.

Run. Try to hide.
Overwhelmed by this complex delirium

NEVER ENOUGH 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Mike Portnoy ]

Cut myself open wide. Reach inside.
Help yourself. To all I have.
To give and then. You help yourself again.
And then complain. That You didn't like the way.
I put the knife in wrong. You didn't like the way.
My blood spilled on your brand new floor.

What would you say. If I walked away.
Would you appreciate. But then it'd be too late.
Because I can only take so much of your ungrateful ways.
Everything is never enough.

Sacrifice my life. Neglect my kids and wife.
All for you to be happy. All those sleepless nights.
And countless fights. To give you more.
And then you say how dare that. I didn't write you back.
I must be too good for you. I only care about myself.

What would you say. If I walked away.
Would you appreciate. But then it'd be too late.
Because I can only take so much of your ungrateful ways.
Everything is never enough.

What would you say. If I walked away.

Would you appreciate. But then it'd be too late.
Because I can only take so much of your ungrateful ways.
Everything is never enough.

SACRIFICED SON 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by James LaBrie ]

Walls are closing. Anxiously.
Channel surfing. Frantically.

Burning City. Smoke and fire.
Planes we're certain. Faith inspired.

No clues. A complete surprise.
Who'll be. Coming home tonight.

Heads all turning. Towards the sky.
Towers crumble. Heroes die.

Who would wish this. On our people.
And proclaim. That His will be done.
Scriptures they heed have misled them.
All praise their Sacrificed Sons.
All praise their Sacrificed Sons.

Teach them. What to think and feel.
Your ways. So enlightening.

Words they preach. I can't relate.
If God's true Love. Are acts of Hate.

Who would wish this. On our people.
And proclaim. That His will be done.
Scriptures they heed have misled them.
All praise their Sacrificed Sons.
All praise their Sacrificed Sons.

God on High. Our mistakes.
Will mankind be extinct?.
There's no time to waste.
Who serves the truth.
For Heavens' sake.

OCTAVARIUM

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by John Petrucci ]

I never wanted to become someone like him so secure.
Content to live each day just like the last.
I was sure I knew that. This was not for me.
And I wanted so much more.
Far beyond what I could see.
So I swore that I'd.
Never be someone like him.

So many years have passed. Since I proclaimed.
My independence. My mission. My aim.
And my vision. So secure.
Content to live each day like it's my last.
It's wonderful to know. That I could be.
Something more than what I dreamed.
Far beyond what I could see.
Still I swear that I'm. Missing out this time.

As far as I could tell. There's nothing more I need.
But still I ask myself. Could this be everything.
Then all I swore. That I would never be was now.
So suddenly. The only thing. I wanted.
To become. To be someone just like him.


A Doctor sitting next to me.
He asks me how I feel.
Not sure I understand his questioning.
He says I've been away a while.
But thinks he has cured me.
From a state of catatonic sleep.

For 30 years. Where have I been.
Eyes open. But not getting through to me.

Medicate me. Infiltrate me.
Side effects appear. As my conscience slips away.

Medicate me. Science failing.
Conscience fading fast. Can't you stop what's happening.

A higher dosage he prescribes. But there's no guarantee.
I feel it starting to take over me.
I tell him not to be ashamed. There's no one who's to blame.
A second shot. A brief awakening.

I feel the relapse. Can't break free.
Eyes open. But not getting through to me.

Medicate me. Infiltrate me.
Side effects appear. As my conscience slips away.
Medicate me. Science failing.
Conscience fading fast.Can't you stop what's happening.

Sailing on the seven seize the day tripper diem's ready.
Jack the ripper Owens Wilson Phillips and my supper's ready.
Lucy in the sky with diamond Dave's not here I come to save the.
Day for nightmare cinema show me the way to get back home again.

Running forward. Falling back. Spinning round and round.
Looking outward. Reaching in. Scream without a sound.

Leaning over. Crawling up.Stumbling all around.
Losing my place. Only to find I've come full circle.

Flying off the handle be careful with.
That axe Eugene gene the dance machine.
Messiah light my fire gabba gabba.
Hey hey my my generation's home again.

Running forward. Falling back. Spinning round and round.
Looking outward. Reaching in. Scream without a sound.

Leaning over. Crawling up. Stumbling all around.
Losing my place. Only to find I've come full circle.

Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath.
Remove all obstacles from our path.

[Second]
Asking questions. Search for clues.
The answer's been right in front of you.

[Third]
Try to break through. Long to connect.
Fall on deaf ears and failed muted breath.

[Fourth]
Loyalty, trust, faith and desire.
Carries love through each darkest fire.

[Fifth]
Tortured Insanity. A smothering hell.
Try to escape but no avail.

[Sixth]
The calls of admirers. Who claim they adore.
Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more.

[Seventh]
Innocent victims of merciless crimes.
Fall prey to some madmen's impulsive designs.

[Octave]
Step after step. We try controlling our fate.
When we finally start living it has become too late.

Trapped inside this Octavarium.
Trapped inside this Octavarium.
Trapped inside this Octavarium.
Trapped inside this Octavarium.


We move in circles. Balanced all the while.
On a gleaming razor's edge.

A perfect sphere. Colliding with our fate.
This story ends where it began.

Album : "Train Of Thought" (2003)

AS I AM 

[ music by Dream Theater, lyrics by John Petrucci ]

 
Don't. Tell me what's in. Tell me how to write.
Don't tell me how to win this.
Fight. Isn't your life. It isn't your right
To take the only thing that's.

Mine. Proven over time.It's over your head
Don't try to read between.
The Lines. Are clearly defined. Never lose sight of
Something you believe in.

Takin' in the view from the outside.
Feeling like the underdog.
Watching through the window I'm on the outside.
Living like the underdog.

I've been trying to justify you.
In the end I will just defy you.

To those who understand, I extend my hand.
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am.
Not under your command, I know where I stand.
I won't change to fit your plan, Take me as I am.

As I am.

Still. Running uphill. Swimming against the current.
I wish I weren't so.
Fucked. Feels like I'm stuck.
Lost in a sea of mediocrity.

''Slow down, You're thinking too much.
Where is your soul?''. You cannot touch. The way I.
Play. Or tell me what to say. You're in the way.
Of all that I believe in.

Takin' in the view from the outside.
Feeling like the underdog.
Watching through the window I'm on the outside.
Living like the underdog.

I've been wasting my breath on you.
Open minds will descend upon you.

To those who understand, I extend my hand.
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am.
Not under your command, I know where I stand.
I won't change to fit your plan, take me as I am.

To those who understand, I extend my hand.
To the doubtful I demand, take me as I am.
Not under your command, I know where I stand.
I won't change to fit your plan, take me as I am.

THIS DYING SOUL 

[ music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Mike Portnoy ]

Hello, Mirror - so glad to see you my friend, it's been a while.
Searching, Fearless - where do I begin to heal this wound of self-denial.

Face yourself man!. Brace yourself and trace your hell back

You've been blinded, living lie a one way cold existence all the while.
Now it's time to stare the problem right between the eyes you long lost child.

I wanna feel your body breaking.
Wanna feel your body breaking and shaking. and left in the cold.
I want to heal your conscience making a change to fix this dying soul
this dying soul. ...... this dying soul.

Born into this world a broken home.
Surrounded by love yet all alone.
Forced into a life that's split in two.
A mother and a father both pulling you.

Then you had to deal with loss and death.
Everybody thinking they know best.
Coping with this shit at such an age.
Can only fill a kid with pain and rage.

Family disease pumped through your blood.
Never had the chance you thought you could.
Running all the while with no escape.
Turning all that pain in to blame and hate.

Living on your own by twenty one.
Not a single care and having fun.
Consuming all the life in front of you.
Burning out the fuse and smoking the residue.

Possessive obsessions selfish childish games.
Vengeful resentments. Passing all the blame.
Living out a life of decadence.
Acing without thought of consequence.
Spreading all your lies from coast to coast.
While spitting on the ones that matter most.

Running power mad with no control.
Fighting for the credit they once stole.
No one can ever tell you what to do.
Ruling other's lives while the can't stand the thought of you.

A living reflection seen from miles away.
A hopeless affliction having run astray.

I wanna feel your body breaking.
Wanna feel your body breaking and shaking and left in the cold.
I want to heal your conscience making a change to fix this dying soul.
this dying soul ...... this dying soul.

Now that you can see all you have done.
It's time to take that step into the kingdom.
All your sins will only make you strong.
And help you break right through the prison wall.

Come to me my friend (Listen to me)
I'll help this torture end (Help to set me free)
Let your ego go (I can't carry this load)
You can't go through this alone (I feel so hopeless and exposed)
You'll find your peace of mind (Give me some direction)
You can no longer hide (Break out of this isolation)
Let humility (Openness, honesty)
And become what you can be (A healing tranquility)

Help me. Save me. Heal me
I can't break out of this prison all alone.

These tormenting ghosts of yesterday.
Will vanish when exposed.
You can't hold onto your secrets.
They'll only send you back alone.

Your fearless admissions.
Will help expel your destructive obsessions.
With my help I know you can.
Be at one with God and man.

Hear me. Believe me. Take me.
I'm ready to break right through this prison wall

ENDLESS  SACRIFICE 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by John Petrucci ]

Cold. Lying in my bed. Staring into darkness.

Lost. I hear footsteps overhead.
And my thoughts return. Again.

Like a child who's run away. And won't be coming back.
Time keeps passing by. As night turns into day.

I'm so far away. And so alone.
I need to see your face.To keep me sane.
To make we whole.

Try to stay alive. Until I hear your voice.
I'm gonna lose my mind. Someone tell me why.
I chose this life. This superficial lie.
Constant compromise. Endless sacrifice.

Pain. It saddens me to know. The helplessness you feel.
Your light. Shines on my soul.
While a thousand candles. Burn

Outside this barren room. The rain is pouring down.
The emptiness inside. Is growing deeper still.

You're so far away. And so alone.
You long for love's embrace.
To keep you sane. To make you whole.

Try to stay alive. Until I hear your voice.
I'm gonna lose my mind. Someone tell me why.
I chose this life. This superficial lie.
Constant compromise. Endless sacrifice.

Moments wasted. Isolated.
Time escaping. Endless sacrifice.

Moments wasted. Isolated.
Time escaping. Endless sacrifice.

Over the distance. We try to make sense.
Of surviving together. While living apart.

Striving for balance. We rise to the challenge.
Of staying connected. In spite of circumstance.

All you've forsaken. And all that you've done.
So that I could live out. This undying dream.

Won't be forgotten. Or taken for granted.
I'll always remember. Your endless sacrifice.

Moments wasted. Isolated.
Time escaping. Endless sacrifice.

Moments wasted. Isolated.
Time escaping. Endless sacrifice.

HONOR THY FATHER

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Mike Portnoy ]

We're taught unconditional love.
That blood is thicker than water.
That a parent's world would revolve.
Always around their son or their daughter.

You pretend I was your own.
And even believed that you loved me.
But were always threatened by some.
Invisible blood line that only you could see.

You took advantage of an outreached hand.
And twisted it to meet your every need.
'Gimme time to re-charge my batteries,
I'll see her when she's older and I'll bounce her on my knee'.

Well listen to me you ungrateful fool.
Here comes a dose of reality.
You'll go to your grave a sad and lonely man.
The door is now closed on your pathetic little plan.

On and on and on and on it goes.
It's so easy to run away with nothing in tow.

How can you ever sleep a wink at night.
Pretending that everything is alright.
And have the nerve to blame this mess on me.

Never in my life have I seen someone.
So Ignorant to the damage he has done.
You're the rotted root in the family tree.

I tried your 4 bill therapy. I tried to make amends.
But nothing could lure you out of your selfish shell again.
Expecting everyone to bow and kiss your feet.
Don't you see respect is not a one way street.
Blaming everyone for all that you've don e wrong.
I'll get my peace of mind when you hear this song.

On and on and on and on it goes.
And with every passing day true colors show.

How can you ever sleep a wink at night.
Pretending that everything is alright.
And have the balls to blame this mess on me.

Never in my life have I seen someone.
Oblivious to the damage he has done.
You're the rotted root in the family tree.

Watch where you walk.
Don't you dare cross the crooked step.
Watch the way you talk.
Don't cross the crooked step.

[spoken:]
"This is a regret that you make". "we're still connected".
"This is a regret that you make-". "I want my family back".
"-and there's something you take".
"You can't have it. I'm sorry for you, but it's too late..."
"Mistakes like this...You don't make".
"Can't you see anything except in terms of how it affects you?"
"You make some...And they'll get to you".
"You don't love anybody".
"I gave you money, I gave you a car, I took you in-"
It's not OK, son" "-but don't that mean something?"
"Do I admire people too much?"
"No...You should do better"
"That disappoints you..." ."God damn regrets!"
"You deserve to die alone for what you have done!"
GOD DAMN REGRETS!" ."Don't deny it"
"You cocksucker, I know you're here."
"Don't deny it".
"I want you to know I hate your fucking guts."
"The biggest regret in my life"
"I wish you'd fucking die."
"I've let my love go"
"I'm your blood...I'm your family"
"Is that you?"
You're not my family, not anymore"
"The fucking regrets!"
"When your own flesh and blood renounces you..."
"What did I do?"
"...you have no choice but to renounce them."
"WHAT DID I DO?"

On and on and on and on it goes.
Chauvinistic, heartless, selfish, cold.

How can you ever sleep a wink at night.
Pretending that everything is alright.
And have the balls to blame this shit on me.

Never in my life have I seen someone.
So fucking blind to the damage he has done.
You're the rotted root in the family tree.

VACANT 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by James LaBrie ]

Hey you, Hey you. I'm right here.
Conscience fading. Can't get through.

Oh Lord. Helpless. Confused.
Head swayed. Eyes glazed. And mine teared.

She's losing control. What can I do.
Her vacant eyes. Black holes.
Am I losing you.

IN THE NAME OF GOD 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by John Petrucci ]

How can this be ? Why is he the chosen one ?

Saint gone astray. With a scepter and a gun.

Learn to believe. In the mighty and the strong.

Come bleed the beast. Follow me it won't be long.

Listen when the prophet. Speaks to you.
Killing in the name of God.

Passion. Twisting faith into.
Violence in the name of God.

Straight is the path. Leading to your salvation.
Slaying the weak. Ethnic elimination.

Any day we'll all be. Swept away.
You'll be saved. As long as you obey.

Lies. Tools of the devil inside.
Written in Holy disguise.
Meant to deceive and divide.
Us all.

Listen when the prophet. Speaks to you.
Killing in the name of God.

Passion. Twisting faith into.
Violence. In the name of God

Blurring the lines. Between virtue and sin.
They can't tell.
Where God ends. And mankind begins.

They know no other. Life but this.
From the cradle. They are claimed.

Listen when the prophet. Speaks to you
Killing in the name of God.

Passion. Twisting faith into.
Violence. In the name of God

Hundreds of believers. Lured into a doomsday cult.
All would perish. In the name of God.

Self-proclaimed messiah. Led his servants. To their death.
Eighty murdered. In the name of God.

Forty sons and daughters. Un-consenting plural wives.
Perversions. In the name of God.

Underground religion. Turning toward. The mainstream light.
Blind devotion. In the name of God.

Justifying violence. Citing from the Holy Book.
Teaching hatred. In the name of God.

Listen when the prophet. Speaks to you.
Killing in the name of God.

Passion. Twisting faith into violence.
In the name of God.

Religious beliefs. Fanatic obsession.
Does following faith. Lead us to violence?

Unyielding crusade. Divine revelation
Does following faith. Lead us to violence?

THE GLASS PRISON 

[ music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Portnoy ]

Cunning, Baffling, Powerful. Been beaten to a pulp.
Vigorous, Irresistable. Sick and tired and laid low.
Dominating, Invincible. Black-out, loss of control.
Overwhelming, Unquenchable. I'm powerless, have to let go.

I can't escape it. It leaves me frail and worn.
Can no longer take it. Senses tattered and torn.

Hopeless surrender. Obsession's got me beat.
Losing the will to live. Admitting complete defeat.

Fatal Descent. Spinning around.
I've gone too far. To turn back round.

Desperate attempt. Stop the progression.
At any length. Lift this obsession.

Crawling to my glass prison.
A place where no one knows.
My secret lonely world begins.

So much safer here.
A place where I can go.
To forget about my daily sins.

Life here in my glass prison.
A place I once called home.
Fall in nocturnal bliss again.

Chasing a long lost friend.
I no longer can control.
Just waiting for this hopelessness to end.

Run - fast from the wreckage of the past.
A shattered glass prison wall behind me.
Fight - past walking through the ashes.
A distant oasis before me.

Cry - desperate crawling on my knees.
Begging God to please stop the insanity.
Help me - I'm trying to believe.
Stop wallowing in my own self pity.

"We've been waiting for you my friend.
The writing's been on the wall.
All it takes is a little faith.
You know you're the same as us all".

Help me - I can't break out this prison all alone.
Save me - I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own.
Heal me - I can't restore my sanity alone.

Enter the door. Desperate.
Fighting no more. Help me restore.
To my sanity. At this temple of hope.

I need to learn. Teach me how.
Sorrow to burn. Help me return.
To humanity.
I'll be fearless and thorough.
To enter this temple of hope.

Believe. Transcend the pain. Living the life.
Humility. Opened my eyes
This new odyssey. Of rigorous honesty

Serenity. I never knew.
Soundness of mind. Helped me to find.
Courage to change. All the things that I can.

"We'll help you perform this miracle
But you must set your past free
You dug the hole, but you can't bury your sole
Open your mind and you'll see"

Help me - I can't break out this prison all alone
Save me - I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own
Heal me - I can't restore my sanity alone

Way off in the distance I saw a door
I tried to open
I tried forcing with all of my will and still
The door wouldn't open


Unable to trust in my faith
I turned and walked away
I looked around, felt a chill in the air
Took my will and turned it over

The glass prison which once held me is now gone

A long lost fortress
Armed only with liberty
And the key of my willingness

Fell down on my knees and prayed
"Thy will be done"
I turned around, saw a light shining through
The door was wide open

BLIND FAITH 

[ music by Dream Theater, lyrics by James LaBrie ]

Hear me, speaking. Asking why I even bother.
Tell me, how you. Live from day to day.

Take your time and look around.
Is this utopia you've found.

Sick of all of this. The suffering and we just carry on.
Isn't it time we care and lose the hate. Understand our fears.

But we do all that we can. Justify the means to an end.
Sorry you must excuse me. I've painted my own Mona Lisa.
She's fixed everything. Now I'm spoiled beyond my wildest dreams.

Blind Faith we have in you. Invisible
Which direction do we choose. Predictable

Take the streets, the beaten path. Our system works for whom I ask.
Yeah I have it all. The bigger house. An iron fence to keep you out.

When did we all let you down. So come Messiah show us how how.
Our human spirit drowns. Don't think you hear me now.
No sign of you around. What is it you hope to see.

Blind Faith we have in you. Invisible.
Which direction do we choose. Predictable.
Give us something we can use. Desirable.
Cause you've done all you can do. Regrettable.

And still life pushes on. With or without you.
We've got to carry on. Our will, will guide us to.
A place where we belong. Know there lies the truth.
I am the believer who gives purpose on to you.

I don't think we let you down.
So come Messiah show us how how.
Throw us a pure lifeline. I hope that you hear me.
Too proud to be around. There's more to us than we see now.

Blind Faith we have in you. Invisible.
Which direction do we choose. Predictable.
Self ignorance, abuse. Desirable.
Cause you've done all you can do. Incredible.

MISUNDERSTOOD 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Petrucci  ]

Waiting. In the calm of desolation.
Wanting to break. From this circle of confusion.

Sleeping. In the depths of isolation.
Trying to wake. From this daydream of illusion.

How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me.
How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me.
How can I know so many. Never really knowing anyone.

If I seem superhuman. I have been. Misunderstood.

It challenges the essence of my soul.
And leaves me in a state of disconnection.
As I navigate the maze of self control.

Playing a lion being led to a cage.
I turn from a thief to a beggar.
From a god to God save me.

How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me.
How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me.
How can I know so many. Never really knowing anyone.

If I seem superhuman. I have been. Misunderstood..

Playing a lion being led to a cage.
I turn from surreal to seclusion.
From love to disdain.
From belief to delusion.
From a thief to a beggar.
From a god to God save me.

How can I feel abandoned even when the world surrounds me
How can I bite the hand that feeds the strangers all around me
How can I know so many. Never really knowing anyone.

If I seem superhuman. I have been. Misunderstood.

THE GREAT DEBATE 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Petrucci ]

"A gallop snapshot poll taken immediately after President Bush's speach on
funding embryonic stem cell research last night shows that half of Americans
approve of his decision, 25% do not, and still another 25% are not sure what
to think."

"Most people don't even know what stem cells are."

"Who is going to scream the loudest? Will it be the right-to-lifers or will
it be the scientists? And now what is going to happen is there will be a
tremendous amount of lobbying in Washington, D.C.: scientists,
entertainers, people who want to see this research - will be coming forth."

"I am concerned about it. Christopher Reeves is concerned about it.
Everyone is concerned about it. The big question is do the ends justify
the means? When we talk about research, yes, we can cure a lot of things...
speculatively. But, where is the proof?"

"These developing human beings that you are talking about, these embryos,
were produced in an artificial, scientific environment.
In vitro fertilization is not God's will."

"That doesn't make them any less human, though, after that happens."

"We are on a road where we really don't know where we are going as far as
what's next. We are talking about harvesting embryos. We are talking about
this, we are talking about that, but what is the cost?"

"How could we possibly abandon the research?"

"That is right. That is the old question? If you think the research is good
then you may not have a problem with it. It is only if you think the
research is questionable that you get defensive about it. (You do have time
to research these embryos later if we choose to do so. While people are
suffering, we are not truly certain that this will provide a cure.)"

"And there was a great outrage in the conservative churches... You cannot
use developing humans... At that point in time they turn into humans."

"I feel that abandoning this research could be a mistake. Researching this
may allow us to save other lives or at least to improve the quality of lives."

"We do not have the answers, yet. We need to put the money where we will get
those answers in the future. Listen, we are out of time."

What if someone said. Promise lies ahead.
Hopes are high in certain scientific circles.
Life won't have to end. You could walk again.

What if someone said. Problems lie ahead.
They've uncovered something highly controversial.
The right to life is strong. Can't you see it's wrong.

Humankind has reached a turning point.
Poised for conflict at ground zero. Ready for a war.
Do we look to our unearthly guide.
Or to white coat heroes. Searching for a cure.

Turn to the light. Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates.
Turn to the light. Turning away would be a terrible mistake.

Anarchistic moral vision. Industries of death.
Facing violent opposition. Unmolested breathe.

Ethic inquisitions breed. Antagonistic views.
Right wing sound bite premonitions. In a labyrinth of rules.

Are you justified. Are you justified.
Are you justified. Justified in taking.
Life to save life. Life to save life.
Taking life to save life.

This embryonic clay. Wrapped in fierce debate.
Would be thrown away. Or otherwise discarded.

Some of us believe. It may hold the key.
To treatment of disease. And secrets highly guarded.

Are you justified. Are you justified.
Are you justified. Justified in taking.
Life to save life. Life to save life. Life to save life.

Human kind has reached a turning point.
Poised for conflict at ground zero. Ready for a war.
Do we look to our unearthly guide.
Or to white coat heroes. Searching for a cure.

Turn to the light. Don't be frightened of the shadows it creates
Turn to the light. Turning away would be a terrible mistake.

We're reaching. But have we gone too far.

Harvesting existence. Only to destroy.
Carelessly together. We are sliding.

Someone else's future.Four days frozen still.
Someone else's fate. We are deciding.

Miracle potential. Sanctity of life.
Faced against each other. We're divided.

Should we push the boundaries. Or should we condemn.
Moral guilt and science. Have collided.

Turn to the light. We defy our own mortality these days.
Turn to the light. Pay attention to the questions we have raised.

"One of the big questions that still remains for me, though, is that all of
these embryos that are sent or will be discarded - is this worse than just
throwing those away?"

"You do not know that all of these will be discarded. All of a sudden you
say which ones will be discarded. And all of sudden you have people being
solicited for parts of their anatomy. Then they harvest parts of people's
bodies. That is how it starts."

"People are not soliciting; there are fertility clinics that have extra embryos."

"The research is a scientific advancement. I know we are going down a road
that we may not know where we end, but that is exactly what science is all
about. I am very sorry, but I do feel sympathy for those whose spines have
been severed... There is a possibility that we might cure them. I am
concerned about a cure for juvenile diabetes and if these types of
scientific advancement can cure these diseases, then quite candidly I think
there ought to be at least what President Bush has proposed: some limited
research."

"Stem cells come from developing human beings and they should not be
experimented on that doesn't make sense or that is unethical, but at the
same time there is great promise."

"I have a 28-year old son who is paraplegic. And if there is a small
chance that my son can be able to have feeling and be able to walk then I am
all for it."

"Human beings have been evolving for 10's of thousands of years and we are
just injecting cells from embryos into people's brains. How do we come to
do something like that?"

DISAPPEAR 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by James LaBrie ]

Why, tell me the reasons why.
Try, still I don't understand.
Will I ever feel this again.
Blue sky, I'll meet you in the end.
Free them, free the memories of you.
Free me, and rest 'til I'm with you.

A day like today. My whole world has been changed.
Nothing you say. Will help ease my pain.

Turn, I'll turn this slowly round.
Burn, burn to feel alive again.
She, she'd want me to move on.
See me, this place I still belong.
Give chase, to find more than I have found.
And face, this time now on my own.

Days disappear. And my world keeps changing.
I feel you here. And it keeps me sane.

So I'm moving on. I'll never forget.
As you lay there and watched me.
Accepting the end.
I knew you were scared.
You were strong I was trying.
I gave you my hand.
I said it's okay letting go time to leave here.
And I'll carry on.
The best that I can without you here beside me.
Let him come take you home.

SIX DEGREES OF INNER TURBULENCE 

[ Music by Dream Theater, Lyric by Petrucci ]

She can't stop pacing. She never felt so alive.
Her thoughts are racing. Set on overdrive.

It takes a village. This she knows is true.
they're expecting her. And she's got work to do.

He helplessly stands by. It's meaningless to try.
As he rubs his red-rimmed eyes.
He says I've never seen her get this bad.

Even though she seems so high. He knows that she can't fly.
and when she falls out of the sky. He'll be standing by.

She was raised in a small midwestern town.
By a charming and eccentric loving father.
She was praised as the perfect teenage girl.
And everyone thought highly of her.

And she tried everyday. With endless drive.
To make the grade. Then one day.
She woke up to find. The perfect girl.
Had lost her mind.

Once barely taking a break. Now she sleeps the days away.
She helplessly stands by. It's meaningless to try.
All she wants to do is cry. No one ever knew she was so sad.

Cause even though she gets so high.
And thinks that she can fly.
She will fall out of the sky.
But in the face of misery.
She found hopefulness.
Feeling better.
She had weathered.
This depression.

Much to her advantage.
She resumed her frantic pace.
Boundless power.
Midnight hour.
She enjoyed the race.

Napalm showers. Showed the cowards.
We weren't there to mess around.

Through heat exhaustion. And mind distortion.
A military victory mounted on innocent ground.

Hearing voices from miles away.
Saying things never said.
Seeing shadows in the light of the day.
Waging a war inside my head.

Years and years of Bloodshed and warfare.
Our mission was only to get in and kill.

A free vacation. Of palmtrees and shrapnel.
Trading innocence for permanent psychotic hell.

Hearing voices from miles away.
Saying things never said.
Seeing shadows in the light of the day.
Waging a war inside my head.

Feeling strangers staring my way.
Reading minds never read.
Tasting danger with each word I say.
Waging a war inside my head.

Standing in the darkness. Waiting for the light.
The smell of pure adrenaline. Burning in the night.

Random blinding flashes. Aiming at the stage.
Intro tape begins to roll. Igniting sonic rage.

Still they keep me between these hollow walls.
Hoping to find in me.
The answers to the test that stumped them all.

"The boy is simply crazy. Suffering from delusions.
We honestly think that maybe. He might need an institution.

He lives in a world of fiction. And really could use some help.
We have just the place to fix him. To save him from himself.

Curled up in the darkness. Searching for the light.
The smell of stale sweat and shit. Streaming through the night.

Random urine testing. Pills red, pink and blue.
Counseling and therapy. Providing not a clue.

Still they keep me between these hollow walls.
Hoping to find in me.
The answers to the test that stumped them all.

"We can't seem to find the answers.
He seemed such a clear cut case.
We cannot just let him leave here.
And put all this work to waste.

Why don't we try shock treatment.
It really might do some help.
We have just the tools to fix him.
To save him from himself".

Goodnight kiss in your nightgown.
Lavender in your bed.
So innocent as you lie down.
Sweet dreams that run through your head.

Are you lonely without Mommy's love?
I want you to know I'd die for that moment.
You're just a poor girl.
Afraid of this cruel world.
Taken away from it all.

It's been 5 years to the day and. My tainted blood's still the same.
I can't help acting this way and. Those bastard doctors are gonna pay.

I'm so lonely without baby's love.
I want you to know I'd die for one more moment.
I'm just a poor girl.
Afraid of this cruel world.
Taken away from it all.

He seemed no different from the rest. Just a healthy normal boy.
His mama always did her best. And he was daddy's pride and joy.

He learned to walk and talk on time. But never cared much to be held.
and steadily he would decline. Into his solitary shell.

As a boy he was considered somewhat odd
Kept to himself most of the time
He would daydream in and out of his own world
but in every other way he was fine

He's a Monday morning lunatic. Disturbed from time to time.
Lost within himself. In his solitary shell.

A temporary catatonic. Madman on occasion.
When will he break out. Of his solitary shell.

He struggled to get through his day
He was helplessly behind
He poured himself onto the page
Writing for hours at a time

As a man he was a danger to himself
Fearful and sad most of the time
He was drifting in and out of sanity
But in every other way he was fine

He's a Monday morning lunatic. Disturbed from time to time.
Lost within himself. In his solitary shell.

A momentary maniac. With casual delusions.
When will he be let out. Of his solitary shell.

I'm alive again. The darkness far behind me.
I'm invincible. Despair will never find me.

I feel strong. I've got a new sense of elation.
Boundless energy. Euphoria fixation.

Still it's hard to just get by.
It seems so meaningless to try.
When all I want to do is cry.
Who would ever know I felt so sad.

Even though I get so high. I know that I will never fly.
And when I fall out of the sky. Who'll be standing by.

Will you be standing by

She dresses in black everyday.
She keeps her hair simple and plain.
She never wears makeup.
But no one would care if she did anyway.

She doesn't recall yesterday.
Faces seem twisted and strange.
But she always wakes up.
Only to find she'd been miles away.

Absence of awareness. Losing time.
A lapse of perception. Losing time.

Wanting to escape.
She had created a way to survive.
She learned to detach from herself.
A behavior that kept her alive.

Hope in the face of our human distress.
Helps us to understand the turbulence deep inside.
That takes hold of our lives.
Shame and disgrace over mental unrest.
Keeps us from saving those we love.
The grace within our hearts.
And the sorrow in our souls.
Deception of fame.
Vengeance of war.
Lives torn apart.
Losing oneself.
Spiraling down.
Feeling the walls closing in.
A journey to find.
The answers inside.
Our illusive mind.

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.
