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
