Never Enough

[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics: Mike Portnoy]

Cut myself open wide

Reach inside

Help yourself

To all I have to give

And then you help yourself again

And then complain that

You didn't like the way

I put the knife in wrong

You didn't like the way

My blood spilled on your brand new floor


What would you say

If I walked away

Would you appreciate

But then it'd be too late

Because I can only take so much of your ungrateful ways

Everything is never enough


Sacrifice my life

Neglect my kids and wife

All for you to be happy

All those sleepless nights

And countless fights to give you more

And then you say how dare that

I didn't write you back

I must be too good for you

I only care about myself


What would you say

If I walked away

Would you appreciate

But then it'd be too late

Because I can only take so much of your ungrateful ways

Everything is never enough

Panic Attack

[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics: John Petrucci]

All wound up

On the edge

Terrified


Sleep disturbed

Restless mind

Petrified


Bouts of fear

Permeate

All I see


Heightening

Nervousness

Threatens me


I am paralyzed

So afraid to die


Caught off guard

Warning signs

Never show


Tension strikes

Choking me

Worries grow


Why do I feel so numb

Is it something to do with where I come from

Should this be fight or flight

I don't know why I'm constantly so uptight


Rapid heartbeat pounding through my chest

Agitated body in distress

I feel like I'm in danger

Daily life is strangled by my stress


A stifling surge

Shooting through all my veins

Extreme apprehension

Suddenly I'm insane


Lost all hope for redemption

A grave situation desperate at best

Why do I feel so numb

Is it something to do with where I come from

Should this be fight or flight

I don't know why I'm constantly reeling


Helpless hysteria

A false sense of urgency

Trapped in my phobia

Possessed by anxiety


Run

Try to hide

Overwhelmed by this complex delirium


Helpless hysteria

A false sense of urgency

Trapped in my phobia

Possessed by anxiety


Run

Try to hide

Overwhelmed by this complex delirium

I Walk Beside You

[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics: John Petrucci]

There's a story in your eyes

I can see the hurt behind your smile

For every sign I recognize

Another one escapes me


Let me know what plagues your mind

Let me be the one to know you best

Be the one to hold you up

When you feel like you're sinking


Tell me once again

What's beneath the pain you're feeling

Don't abandon me

Or think you can't be saved


I walk beside you

Wherever you are

Whatever it takes

No matter how far

Through all the may come

And all that may go

I walk beside you

I walk beside you


Summon up your ghosts for me

Rest your tired thoughts upon my hands

Step inside this sacred place

When all your dreams seem broken


Resonate inside this temple

Let me be the one who understands

Be the one to carry you

When you can walk no further


Tell me once again

What's below the surface bleeding

If you've lost your way,

I will take you there


I walk beside you

Wherever you are

Whatever it takes

No matter how far

Through all that may come

And all that may go

I walk beside you

I walk beside you


Oh, where everything is wrong

Oh, where hopelessness surrounds you

Oh, the sun will rise again

The tide you swim against

Will carry you back home

So don't give up

Don't give in


I walk beside you

Wherever you are

Whatever it takes

No matter how far

Through all that may come

And all that may go

I walk beside you

I walk beside you

These Walls

[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics: John Petrucci]

This is so hard for me

To find the words to say

My thoughts are standing still


Captive inside of me

All emotions start to hide

And nothing's getting through


Watch me,

Fading

I'm losing

All my instincts,

falling into darkness


Tear down these walls for me

Stop me from going under

You are the only one who knows

I'm holding back


It's not too late for me,

To keep from sinking further

(I'm trying to find my way out,

Tear down these walls for me now)


So much uncertainty

I don't like this feeling

I'm sinking like a stone


Each time I try to speak

There's a voice I'm hearing

And it changes everything


Watch me,

Crawl from

The wreckage

Of my silence

Conversation

Failing


Tear down these walls for me

Stop me from going under

You are the only one who knows

I'm holding back


It's not too late for me,

To keep from sinking further

(I'm trying to find my way out,

Take down these walls)


Everytime you choose to turn away

Is it worth the price you pay?

Is there someone who will wait for you

One more time?


Watch me,

Fading

I'm losing

All my instincts,

Falling into darkness


Tear down these walls for me

Stop me from going under

You are the only one who knows

I'm holding back


It's not too late for me,

To keep from sinking further

(I'm trying to find my way out,

Tear down these walls for me now)


Tear down these walls for me

It's not too late for me

Tear down these walls for me

The Answer Lies Within

[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics: John Petrucci]

Look around,

Where do You Belong

Don't be afraid,

You are not the only one


Don't let the day go by,

Don't let it end

Don't let a day go by in doubt,

The answer lies within


Life is short, so learn from your mistakes

And stand behind, the choices that you made

Face each day with both eyes open wide

And try to give, don't keep it all inside


Don't let the day go by

Don't let it end

Don't let a day go by, in doubt,

The answer lies within


You've got the future on your side

You've gonna be fine now

I know whatever you decide

You are gonna shine!!! (shinee)


Don't let the day go by

Don't let it end

Don't let a day go by, in doubt

You re ready to begin


Don't let a day go by in doubt

The answer lies within

Root of all evil

Proud enough for you to call me arrogant

Greedy enough to be labeled a thief

Angry enough for me to go and hurt a man

Cruel enough for me to feel no grief



Never could have just a part of it

I always need more to get by

Getting right down to the heart of it

The root of all evil has been running my whole life



Dirty enough for me to lust

Leaving nothing left to trust

Jealous enough to still feel envious

Lazy enough to sleep all day

And let my life just waste away

Selfish enough to make you wait for me



Driven blindly by our sins

Misled so easily

Entirely ready to leave it behind

I'm begging to break free



Take all of me

The desires that keep burning deep inside

Cast them all away

And help to give me strength to face another day

I am ready

Help me be what I can be


Self-centered fear has got a hold of me

Clutching my throat

Self righteous anger running all through me

Ready to explode



Procrastination paralyzing me

Wanting me dead

These obsessions that keep haunting me

Won't leave my head



Help to do for me what I can't do myself

Take this fear and pain

I can't break out this prison all alone

Help me break these chains



Humility now my only hope

Won't you take all of me

Heal this dying soul



I can feel my body breaking

I can feel my body breaking

I'm ready to let it all go

I can feel my body shaking

Right down to the foundation

The root of it all



Take all of me

The desires that keep burning deep inside

Cast it all away

And help to give me strength to face another day

I am ready

Help me what I can be

I am ready

Come to me

Take me away
