Octavarium lyrics

Proud enough for you to
Call me arrogant
Greedy enough to be laid from the feet ???
Angry enough for me to
Go and hurt a man
Cool enough for me to feel your greed

Never could have just a part of it
I always knew more ???
Getting it down to the heart of it
For who would believe all has been running my whole life

Dirty enough for me to last
Leaving nothing left to trust

The Answer Lies Within
by iCeMaN Brazil

Look arround
Where do you belong
Don´t be afraid
You're 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 make

Face each day
With both eyes open wide
And try to give

This is so hard for me
To find the words to say
My thoughts are standing still
Captive inside of me
All the motions start to hide
And nothing's getting trough
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

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

All wound up
On the edge
Terrified
Sleep disturbed
Restless mind
Petrified
Bouts of fear
Permeate
All I see
Heightening
Nervousness
Theatens 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?
Has it something to do with where I come from?
Should this be fight or flight?

Cut myself open wide
(B)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 long
You didn't like the the way
My blood spilled on your Brand New Floor
What would you say
If I walked away?
Would you appriciate?
But then it'd be too late
'cos i can only take so much
Of your ungrateful ways

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 are turning towards the sky
Towers crumble, heroes die

Who would wish this on our people?
And proclaim that his will be done
scriptures say he had misled them

I. SOMEONE LIKE HIM

Lyrics: 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
