DREAM THEATER LYRICS

1. Untethered Angel

You've built this world around you
Your universe
In spite of best intentions
Things could not be worse
Chaos and fear have left you
Hanging by a thread
As you argue with the voice inside your head

Untethered angel
Falling to 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 to darkness
Don't be afraid of letting go
Giving up yourself will set you free
Set you free

Untethered angel
Falling to darkness
Don't be afraid of letting go
Open your heart
Be set free

2. Paralyzed

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

3. Fall Into The Light

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

4. Barstool Warrior

In a dark and lonely corner
Of a time-worn dockside inn
Sits a 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

5. Room 137

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

6. S2N

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

7. At Wit's End

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 and 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

8. Out Of Reach

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 but 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

9. Pale Blue Dot

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 if 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
Hurtling 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

Venomous
By design
Lying idle
Biding time

Bore down the clutch
Tore up the road
Six hundred horses
Genetic code

Lightning speed
The road she bends
Slam 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
