You built this world around you
Your universe In spite of best intentions Things could not be worse Chaos and fear left you Hanging by a thread As you argue with the voice inside your head Untethered Angel Falling into darkness Don't be afraid of letting go Giving up yourself will set you free Misgiving and dismay Nightmares and wasted days Can't live your life this way Something needs to change Cold feet and second thoughts Entangled, tied in knots Avoidance at all costs A painful thing to watch Fear can live inside you Push you to the edge Face the fear within you Wake up from the dead Untethered Angel Falling into darkness Don't be afraid of letting go Giving up yourself will set you free Set you free Untethered Angel Falling into darkness Don't be afraid of letting go Open your heart Be set free 02. Paralyzed Music by John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, John Myung, Mike Mangini Lyrics by John Petrucci
The anger
The pressure You're choking down your words again Feel the nerves set in Unspoken frustration They see right through you Paper thin Like the ghost within A heart that feels no pain Addicted to the game Breaking beneath the strain I am paralyzed The stare of a stranger Is like a wound that bleeds again Silent as the dead The victim The martyr Like Daniel in the Lion's Den Time and time again A heart that feels no pain Addicted to the game Breaking beneath the strain I am paralyzed I am paralyzed A heart that feels no pain Addicted to the game Relentless mental drain What do you stand to gain? Viewing life through such a narrow, fractured lens Will ensure you end up on the losing end Breaking beneath the strain I am paralyzed I am paralyzed I am paralyzed I am paralyzed I am paralyzed 03. Fall Into The Light Music by John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, John Myung, Mike Mangini Lyrics by John Myung, John Petrucci
Written on the water
Memories dissipate Eyes begin to open Darkness drifts away Time and space like roses Whose petals drop and fade And fall into the light As if dreams of yesterday Too much love is not enough for us I was once too blind to see There is nothing sacred Only Heaven knows So turn towards the sun And look into your soul Too much love is not enough for us I was once too blind to see Too much hope will never be enough It's become so clear to me Too much love is not enough for us I was once too blind to see Too much hope will never be enough The truth is clear to me 04. Barstool Warrior Music by John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, John Myung, Mike Mangini Lyrics by John Petrucci
In a dark and lonely corner
Of a time-worn dockside inn Sits the local barstool warrior Talking to his gin Tracing past decisions He motions for a shot Is he doomed to be a man this world forgot? Just a prisoner of the monster on his back Call it bad luck Call it fate Call it stuck here the rest of my days Serves me right What went wrong? And where do I belong? In the glow of flashing lights On the shoulder of the road Clutching at the bruises on her skin She tries to signal danger With anguish in her eyes Will he see the world of pain she's in? Or is it too late? Was it bad luck? Was it fate? Or a past that she couldn't escape? It's not right Something's wrong Just where do I belong? Promises made Crying in vain All empty Never accepting the blame And not letting go of the shame A river of tears As months turn to years All wasted On someone not willing to change Now only a shadow remains No one can save you And there's no one to save It has been written You will become all you think, all you feel, all you dream Now I'm cutting the anchor away And I won't look back I'm starting a new life today Now I see Where I belong 05. Room 137 Music by John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, John Myung, Mike Mangini Lyrics by Mike Mangini
Someone
Someone is trying To tell him something Will he listen? Should he listen? Someone Someone is dying To find out something Will he reason? What is the reason? Do you see it there on the door? Death is coming Life nevermore Obsession drives me Clouding my mind What's the message? Am I running out of time? Someone Someone is trying In search of something Death by numbers Getting closer Someone Someone is dying To know the answer The key to heaven 137 Do you see it there on the door? Death is coming Life nevermore Obsession drives me Clouding my mind What's the message? Am I running out of time? Take me to the other side Show me what I cannot find Never-ending number line Hidden by design I can see it here on the door One-three-seven, forevermore Between dimensions The boundary line One-three-seven I am running out of time Take me to the other side Show me what I cannot find Never-ending number line Take me to the other side Show me what I cannot find Never-ending number line Take me to the other side Show me what I cannot find Never-ending number line Let me see before I die 06. S2N Music by John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, John Myung, Mike Mangini Lyrics by John Myung, John Petrucci
Are we paying attention?
Or are we drifting? Too much negative action Not enough positive reaction What's the state of humanity? Where's the peace and the harmony? Free the signal, your inner voice Time to transcend block out the noise Signal to noise Becomes the answer The world keeps turning As we latch on to the wheel Have you heard the news? A surging sea of circumstance Pain, starvation, war, abuse Sterile gloves hide dirty hands Shocking truth Climate change Floods and fires Hurricanes Overdose Suicide Innocent die Fear and race Endless lies Sex and Faith Terrorize Drugs and guns Taking lives Innocent die Signal to noise Becomes the answer The world keeps turning As we latch on to the wheel Signal to noise Defines the reason The world keeps turning As we latch on to the wheel Our wounds begin to heal Signal to noise Becomes the answer The world keeps turning As we latch on to the wheel Signal to noise Defines the reason The world keeps turning As we latch on to the wheel Our wounds begin to heal The chatter disappears And the message is revealed 07. At Wit's End Music by John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, John Myung, Mike Mangini Lyrics by James LaBrie
Let me help you
How much longer until you realize? You're getting worse It's killing you inside I can't break through Feel you have to face this on your own Want to be left alone Don't leave me now Don't leave me now I know that it's tearing you apart Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Come alive You feel I'm asking too much of you But can't let go Fear breeds the hate and your apathy Empty and hollow You lost your faith There's no getting through Why shut me out? Frantic, disturbed, filled with misery Can't figure it out Sleepless, worse for wear Staring at the ceiling Numb Sedated Intoxicated Deafening, Deafening Shut it out, Shut it out Burning, Burning No way out, No way out Don't leave me now Don't leave me now I know that it's tearing you apart Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Come alive Asked me to listen Can't go on to face another day I lied, not admitting What I lost is still in you Something's missing You see darkness in my eyes Maculate There is no cure Playing over, stop pretending Warped inside its never ending tide Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now Don't leave me now 08. Out Of Reach Music by John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, John Myung, Mike Mangini Lyrics by James LaBrie
There's something about this girl
Some kind of magic Swear she cast a spell on me Not the first time Might be the last Can't let this moment slip away Try to find the words None sit right with me Air of confidence But I can barely breathe She's without a care Electrified and held there A thousand volts igniting me Her waves crash over me Far below, out of reach The undertow, my reverie Sadness in her smile Love, it's been a while Near and far away She chases it each day A promise to come back All the while still waiting Seems it lost its way Out of reach Just too hard to reach You're letting your life slip away Out of reach Yeah it's hard to reach There's another day Although you're hurting and afraid You're stronger than yesterday 09. Pale Blue Dot Music by John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, John Myung, Mike Mangini Lyrics by John Petrucci
So far away from home
Beyond a distant reach Faint whispers from the edge Returning piece by piece A lonely point of light Captured in a final glance A solitary hint of life Discovered it by chance God creators Dream destroyers Spineless cowards and fearless warriors Hopeful children Mothers and fathers Our blood-filled rivers fueled by hate We worship heroes, kings and saints But who's out there To save us from ourselves? All you will ever know All life that ever was All you despise or love Living out their lives This isolated speck Hurling through the cosmic dark Would seem to go astray If we were washed away God creators Dream destroyers Knowledge seekers and bold explorers Hopeful children Mothers and fathers All on this place we call our home Adrift in space we're on our own But who's out there To save us from ourselves? 10. Viper King Music by John Petrucci, Jordan Rudess, John Myung, Mike Mangini Lyrics by James LaBrie
Venomous
By design Lying idle Biding time Bore down the clutch Tore up the road 600 horses Genetic code Lightning speed The road she bends Slammed down the brakes Losing my ass end Drive on Pushed to the limit My Viper King We're flying high Drive on Filled with desire Nothing to fear I feel alive My Viper King Speed demon Tempting fate Do or die In the blink of an eye Drive on Pushed to the limit My Viper King We're flying high Drive on Filled with desire Nothing to fear I feel alive My Viper King Drive on Pushed to the limit My Viper King We're flying high Drive on Filled with desire Nothing to fear I feel alive My Viper King My Viper King My Viper King |
