Dream Theater - As I Am - lyrics

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
Still
Running up hill
Swimming against the current
I wish I weren't so
*****ed
Feels like I'm stuck
Lost in a sea of mediocrity
"Slow down,
You're thinking too much
Where is your soul?"
You can not 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

Dream Theater - Another Day - lyrics

Live another day
Climb a little higher
Find another reason to stay
Ashes in your hands
Mercy in your eyes
If youre searching for a silent sky...
Chorus:
You wont find it here
Look another way
You wont find it here
So die another day
The coldness of his words
The message in his silence
face the candle to the wind...
This distance in my voice
Isnt leaving you a choice
So if youre looking for a time to run away...
Chorus
They took pictures of our dreams
Ran to hide behind the stairs
And said maybe when its right for you, theyll fall
But if they dont come down
Resist the need to pull them in
And throw them away
Better to save the mystery
Than surrender to the secret
Chorus

Dream Theater - A Vision - lyrics

- kevin moore
Heaven
A place within your eyes
Forever I wear
This second hand disguise
In time to find your world
This lifetime disappears
Yes we understand
In space but not in time
My guardian is here
I cant understand
Imagine wanting nothing more
The angel youve been sending for
Now just dont turn away...
Dreamer
Reaching in and finding out
A vision
I must capture it somehow
The first light
That cast a spell to later cry
Will always remain
This force of life
Its power in a look of fire
Was calling your name
Dont you feel it?
Yes, believe it
Its time to set emotions straight
This space is wasting a dream
And it cant wait
[chorus:]
Here I am
Cross this bridge and come my way
The answer to a prayer
A light for us to share
In all our glory
Someday
We will hold our lives as one
And I will carry you
Until our kingdom come
Cant you hear me?
Disbelief
Is why the spirit falls below
One to one
Is all the faith one needs to grow
This tension I feel
Is it really fair?
One of you will have to leave here
These words will break the line
That ties our worlds together
And I will never go
Remember having dreams to share?
Weve been taught to hide our fear
But now you cant turn away...

Dream Theater - 6: 00 - lyrics

- kevin moore
Six oclock on a christmas morning...
And for what?
Well, isnt it for the honor of god,
Aunt kate?
I know all about the honor of god,
Mary jane.
Six oclock the siren kicks him from a dream
Tries to shake it off but it just wont stop
Cant find the strength but hes got promises to keep
And wood to chop before he sleeps
I may never get over
But nevers better than now
Ive got bases to cover
Hes in the parking lot and hes just sitting in his car
Its nine oclock but he cant get out
He lights a cigarette
And turns the music down
But just cant seem to shake that sound
Once I thought Id get over
But its too late for me now
Ive 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
So many ways to drown a man
So many ways to drag him down
Some are fast and some take years and years
Cant hear what hes saying when hes talking in his sleep
He finally found the sound but hes 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 dont cut your losses too soon
cause youll only be cutting your throat
And answer a call while you still hear at all
cause nobody will if you wont
Six oclock on a christmas morning...
I know all about the honor of god,
Mary...
I know all about the honor of god,
Mary jane.

Dream Theater - Afterlife - lyrics

I touched with one
Who made me run
Away from my own soul...
In this world with its
Many illusions
We are moving like mice through a maze
And now I find
Whats left behind
Has served to make me whole
Full of doubt, deception, and delusion
Seeking purpose to all earthly days
I search within
Beneath a skin
That bears both pleasure and pain
In a world full of constant confusion
I will not be a par to the craze
In the afterlife
Will dark be bright?
Will cold be warm?
Will the day have no night?
In the afterlife?
Will the blind have sight?
In the afterlife.
Behind closed eyes
Some comfort lies
In knowing the truth never spoken
Through this world with its
Hidden conclusion
Well keep moving like mice through a maze
In the afterlife
Will dark be bright?
Will cold be warm?
Will the day have no night?
In the afterlife?
Will the blind have sight?
In the afterlife.
In the afterlife
Will dark be bright?
Will cold be warm?
Will the day have no night?
In the afterlife?
Will the blind have sight?
In the afterlife.

Dream Theater - A Fortune In Lies - lyrics

I can remember when,
In the unity of our five-day sessions
Not even once did we hear the siren song
What kind of imagination
Asleep in some lyrical coma
Whos vain futile memory
Could have been so wrong?
You can make a fortune in lies
You can keep a giant alive
You can ride the red
Until everybody smiles
A trifling euphoria
Was such an untimely religion
Maybe your life can explain
The reason for my indecision
Here is a poor man
The heart of this monster creation
He said we both will be heroes
And I was led into temptation
You can make a fortune in lies
You can keep a giant alive
You can ride the red
Until everybody smiles
Can you show me your gold
And your silver?
A hero in frozen water
Now youve made a fortune in lies
And you kept a giant alive
You rode the red
You rode the red

Dream Theater - Anna Lee - lyrics

- 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 dont wanna breathe the air you breathe
You dont know how youll live a life alone
She keeps holding on
Holding on to you
Let her breathe the air
Dont wanna be alone
Where do you belong
Anna lee
Behind those eyes
A vivid scene
A lucid dream within
Questioned secrets are revealed
And every time
You cant deny
The lines that trace your skin
Wounds that never heal
Trying to believe
The scars unseen
The tears wash clean
You dont wanna breathe the air you breathe
You dont know how youll live a life alone
She keeps holding on
Holding on to you
Let her breathe the air
Dont wanna be alone
Where do you belong
Anna lee
And now shes calling out a name
Cant keep on hiding all her pain
You feel the rain move in
As you begin
To turn and answer the call/p> trying to believe
The scars unseen
The tears wash clean
You dont wanna breathe the air you breathe
You dont know how youll live a life alone
She keeps holding on
Holding on to you
Let her breathe the air
Dont wanna be alone
Where do you belong
Anna lee

Dream Theater - About To Crash - lyrics

Lyrics wretten by John Petrucci
Music written by John Myung, John Petrucci,
Mike Portnoy, and Jordan Rudess
She can't stop pacing
She never felt so alive
Her thoughts are racing
And 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 mid-western 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 mid
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 a frantic pace
Boundless power
Midnight hour
She enjoyed the race

Dream Theater - A Change Of Seasons: VII. The Crimson Sunset - lyrics

I'm much wiser now
A lifetime of memories
Run through my head
They taught me how
For better or worse
Alive or dead
I realize
There's no turning back
Life goes on
The offbeaten track
I sit down with my son
Set to see the Crimson Sunset
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
Many years have come and gone
I've lived my life, but now must move on
(Gather ye rosebuds while ye may)
He's my only one
Now that my time has come
Now that my life is done
We look into the sun
"Seize the day
And don't you cry
Now it's time
To say good-bye
Even though
I'll be gone
I will live on
Live on"

Dream Theater - Another Won - lyrics

- john petrucci
It was the mortal passion
The flame that lit the fire
The beauty of the starlight
Brought the cruelty of desire
A lovers link was broken
Anothers vengeful plan
Was contrived through jealous hatred
For a cross of God and man
i hope it will turn out so but I cant help
Being afraid
Perception is hindered by lust
To be sure of the choice you have made.
grant me this request, please
Just promise me your word
Attest to the mighty river
Let the truth be heard!
She asked to see the power
His realm of life and love
His godly immortality
The thunder roared above
Her words were so quickly spoken
Lest he stop her from the deed
i gave you my word, now my love
Your grim request I shall heed!
Leaving his maiden
He rose to the sky
Returning in splendors
To earth he did fly
Subject to presence
Too brilliant to face
Another had killed passions grace
