Dream Theater - The Glass Prison |
The Glass Prison
Dream Theater I. Reflection Cunning, Baffling, Powerful Been beaten to a pulp Vigorous, Irresistable Sick and tired and laid low Dominating, Invisible BlackOverwhelming, Unquenchable I'm powerless, have to let go It leaves me frail and worn Can no longer take it I can't escape it Senses tattered and torn Obsession's got me beat Hopeless surrender 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 II. Restoration Run A shattered glass prison wall behind me A distant oasis before me Fight Cry Begging God to please stop the insanity Stop wallowing in my own self pity Help me "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 Heal me Save me 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 The enter this temple of hope I'll be fearless and thorough Believe Transcend the pain Humility Living the live Opened my eyes This new odyssey Of rigorous honesty Serenity That 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 Open your mind and you will see" You dug the hole, but you can't bury your soul Help me Save me Heal me III. Revelation Way off in the distance I saw the door I tried to open I tried forcing with all of my will but still The door wouldn't open Unable to trust in my faith I looked around, felt a chill in the air I turned and walked away 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 "Thy will be done" Fell down on my knees and prayed I turned around, saw a light shining through The door was wide open |
