The Glass Prison lyrics

I. REFLECTION

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

Blind Faith lyrics

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 and end
Sorry you must excuse me
I've painted my own Mona Lisa
She's fixed everything

Misunderstood lyrics

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

The Great Debate lyrics

I. Reflection

Cunning, Baffling, Powerful
Been beaten to a pulp
Vigorous, Irresistable
Sick and tired and laid low
Dominating, Invisible
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

Disappear lyrics

5th Degree - Disappear [06:46]

music by Myung, Petrucci, Portnoy, Rudess

lyrics 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

Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence: II. About to Crash lyrics

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

Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence: VII. About to Crash (Reprise) lyrics

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

Degree 5: Disappear lyrics

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

Degree 4: The Great Debate lyrics

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

Human kind has reached a turning point
Poised for conflict at ground zero
Ready for a war

Degree 3: Misunderstood lyrics

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

Degree 2: Blind Faith lyrics

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

Black-out, loss of control

About To Crash (Reprise) lyrics

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

About To Crash lyrics

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

Goodnight Kiss lyrics

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

War Inside My Head lyrics

Intro:
ah yeah Dream Warriors
as we enter the brink of reality
battlfield
trust me seven times seven times
but you prefer not to
here I go into a lifelong trip
are you ready for this?
come solider
Verse 1:
ringin' on into his disorder
I serve the square
so step there's nothing left you can't compare
to the noble unbeatable length of hair that I bare

The Test That Stumped Them All lyrics

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

Solitary Shell lyrics

I. Reflection

Cunning, Baffling, Powerful
Been beaten to a pulp
Vigorous, Irresistable
Sick and tired and laid low
Dominating, Invisible
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

Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence lyrics

I. Overture

(Instrumental)

II. About to Crash

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
