And shaking and left in the cold
Now it's time to
(Listen to me please)
Trace your hell back
Hear me, believe me, take me
With my help I know you can
Publishers: KEY WIZ MUSIC, WARNER-TAMERLANE PUBLISHING CORP, WB MUSIC CORP., YTSE JAMS INC
You can no longer hide
Passing all the blame
Living on your own by twenty one
A change to fix this dying soul, this dying soul
A mother and a father both pulling you
Born into this world a broken home
Where do I begin to heal this wound of self-denial?
I wanna heal your conscience making
You'll find your peace of mind
Living out a life of decadence
Forced into a life that's split in two
Seen from miles away
A change to fix this dying soul, this dying soul
I can't break out of this prison all alone
Brace yourself and
(Break out of this isolation)
Ruling other's lives while they can't stand the thought of you
This dying soul
Surrounded by love yet all alone
Never had the chance you thought you could
Your fearless admissions
Songwriters: John Myung, John Petrucci, Michael Portnoy, Jordan Rudess
A hopeless affliction
I wanna feel your body breaking, wanna feel your body breaking
Searching, fearless
It's time to take that step into the kingdom
I wanna heal your conscience making
Burning out the fuse and smoking the residue
(Healing tranquility)
Face yourself man
Turning all that pain in to blame and hate
Running all the while with no escape
This dying soul
Now that you can see all you have done
And help you break right through the prison wall
Family disease pumped through your blood
And shaking and left in the cold
Will vanish when exposed
Can only fill a kid with pain and rage
(Openness, honesty)
I'll help this torture end
Stare the problem right between the eyes you long lost child
Then you had to deal with loss and death
These tormenting ghosts of yesterday
Hello mirror
Let humility
Be at one with God and man
Will help expel your destructive obsessions
Selfish childish games
Fighting for the credit they once stole
(Help to set me free)
Vengeful resentments
All your sins will only make you strong
You can't go through this alone
I'm ready to break through this prison wall
No one can ever tell you what to do
Coping with this shit at such an age
Help me, save me, heal me
Come to me my friend
(I feel so hopeless and exposed)
I wanna feel your body breaking, wanna feel your body breaking
Everybody thinking they know best
Running power mad with no control
Consuming all the life in front of you
Spitting on the ones that matter most
You've been blinded
Let your ego go
And the living reflection
Spreading all your lies from coast to coast
So glad to see you my friend it's been a while
Not a single care and having fun
And become what you can be
Acing without thought of consequence
(Can't carry this load)
Possessive obsessions
(Give me some direction)
They'll only send you back alone
Living like a one way cold existence all the while
You can't hold onto your secrets
Having run astray
