I never wantedto 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 that 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 So secure Content to live each day like it's my last It's wonderful to know That I could be Something more than what I dreamed Far beyond what I could see Still I swear that I'm Missing out this time
As far as I could tell There's nothing more i need But still I ask myself Could this be everything The all I swore That I would never be was now So suddenly The only thing I wanted To become To be someone just like him
A Doctor sitting next to me He asks me how I feel Not sure I understand his questioning He says I've been away a while But thinks he has cured me From a state of catatonic sleep
For 30 years Where I have been Eyes open But not getting through to me
Medicate me, Infiltrate me Side effects appear As my conscience slips away
Medicate me, Science failing Conscience fading fast Can't you stop what's happening
A higher dosage he prescribes But there's no guarantee I feel it starting to take over me I tell him not to be ashamed There's no one who's to blame A second shot A brief awakening
I feel the relapse Can't break free Eyes open But not getting through to me
Sailing on the seven sieze the day tripper diem's ready Jack the ripper owens Wilson Phillips and my supper's ready Lucy in the sky with diamond Dave's not here I come to save the day for nightmare Cinema show me the way to get back home again
Running forward Falling back Spinning round and round Looking outward Reaching in Scream without a sound
Leaning over Crawling up Stumbling all around Losing my place Only to find I've come full circle
flying off the handle with careful with that axe eugene gene the dance machine messiah light my fire gabba gabba hey hey my my generation's home again
Running forward Falling back Spinning round and round Looking outward Reaching in Scream without a sound
Leaning over Crawling up Stumbling all around Losing my place Only to find I've come full circle
Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath Remove all obstacles from our path
Asking questions Search for clues The answer's been right in front of you
Try to break through Long to connect Fall on deaf ears and failed muted breath
Loyalty, trust, faith and desire Carries love through each darkest fire
Tortured Insanity A smothering hell Try to escape but to no avail
The calls of admirers Who claim they adore Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more
Innocent victims of merciless crimes Fall prey to some madmen's impulsive designs
Step after step We try controlling our fate When we finally start living it has become too late
Trapped inside this Octavarium Trapped inside this Octavarium Trapped inside this Octavarium Trapped inside this Octavarium
We move in circles Balanced all the while On a gleaming razor's edge
A perfect sphere Colliding with our fate This story ends where it began
The Ministry of lost souls Dream Theater 2007/ Systematic Chaos
The water's edge Is where she waits Lost souls still wandering Meant to die But she's stuck not crossing over
The other side Is where he waits His spirit reaching out Meant to save But she's too scared to take his hand
Living in a world without you (Drowning in the past) Is living in no world at all So now I call on you...
Remember me? I gave you life You would not take it Your suffering was all in vain It's almost over now Don't turn your back on paradise
Feeling scared, she's prepared To give up everything She can't stand to feel Like half of her is fading
He will choose the only way To rid her of her pain Take her soul now The decision has been made
Living in a world without love (A burden to my soul) Is living in a worthless world So I will call on you...
Remember me? I gave you life You would not take it Your suffering was all in vain It's almost over
Remember me? You were so young How could I tell you? Remember me? I am the one Who saved your life that night
I was the one who would not abandon you Even in death I was the one who would not leave you I used my freedom to protect you And all the while direct you Do you remember me this time? Even in death I gave you life I gave you life!
I wanted to Deserve a place A place beside you This time when I reached out my hand It reached all the way to heaven
Remember me? I gave you life You would not take it Your suffering was all in vain It's almost over now Goodbye It's almost over now Goodbye
It's time I release you from this life Don't turn your back on paradise
Looking at the pages of my life Faded memories of me and you Mistakes you know I've made a few I took some shots and fell from time to time Baby, you were there to pull me through We've been around the block a time or two I'm gonna lay it on the line Ask me how we've come this far The answer's written in my eyes
Chorus: Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time When I look at what my life's been comin' to I'm all about lovin' you
I've lived, I've loved, I've lost, I've paid some dues, baby We've been to hell and back again Through it all you're always my best friend For all the words I didn't say and all the things I didn't do Tonight I'm gonna find a way
Chorus: Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time When I look at what my life's been comin' to I'm all about lovin' you
You can take this world away You're everything I am Just read the lines upon my face I'm all about lovin' you
Guitar Solo
Chorus: Every time I look at you, baby, I see something new That takes me higher than before and makes me want you more I don't wanna sleep tonight, dreamin's just a waste of time When I look at what my life's been comin' to I'm all about lovin' you All about lovin' you
I was so high I did not recognize The fire burning in her eyes The chaos that controlled my mind Whispered goodbye and she got on a plane Never to return again But always in my heart
This love has taken its toll on me She said goodbye too many times before And her heart is breaking in front of me I have no choice cause I wont say goodbye anymore
I tried my best to feed her appetite Keep her coming every night So hard to keep her satisfied Kept playing love like it was just a game Pretending to feel the same Then turn around and leave again
This love has taken its toll on me She said goodbye too many times before And her heart is breaking in front of me I have no choice cause I wont say goodbye anymore
l fix these broken things Repair your broken wings And make sure everythings alright My pressure on her hips Sinking my fingertips Into every inch of you Cause I know thats what you want me to do
----------------------------------------------------------- Wash Away The Poison Lyrics Artist(Band):Edguy
Here alone now I'm staring at the sea Behind the far horizon Is there a better place for me?
Afraid to drown, afraid to dive Scared by fears and the hot sunlight, yeah
And I dance in the rain, dive in the pool of life Wash away the poison And I dance through this pain, my body in a starless night To wash away the poison from my soul, turn it to gold
Between the devil and the deep sea I don't know how to carry on I only feel that inner force that's pushing me along
The tides of life bring clarity for my tumbling mind I'll dive to see, set me free
