He's just the kind of man You hear about Who leaves his family for An easy out They never saw the signs He never said a word He couldn't take another day Carry me to the shoreline Bury me in the sand Walk me across the water And maybe you'll understand Once the stone You're crawling under Is lifted off your shoulders Once the cloud that's raining Over your head disappears The noise that you'll hear Is the crashing down of hollow years She's not the kind of girl You hear about She'll never want another She'll never be without She'll give you all the signs She'll tell you everything Then turn around and walk away Carry me to the shoreline Bury me in the sand (Into the waves) Walk me across the water And maybe you'll understand Once the stone You're crawling under (Once the stone) Is lifted off your shoulders Once the cloud that's raining Over your head disappears The noise that you'll hear Is the crashing down of hollow years Carry me to the shoreline Bury me in the sand (Into the waves) Walk me across the water And maybe you'll understand Once the stone You're crawling under Is lifted off your shoulders Once the cloud that's raining Over your head disappears The noise that you'll hear Is the crashing down of hollow years Once the stone You're crawling under Once the stone You're crawling under (The sound you'll hear,) Once the stone (the crashing) You're crawling under (down of hollow years) Once the stone You're crawling under Once the stone You're crawling under Once the stone You're crawling under (The sound you'll hear, the crashing down of hollow years)
Silence disguised I watch you Show me the hurt that haunts you would you despise the thrill If all you hide were mine? I can't hold on any longer These feelings keep growing stronger Echoes that deafen the mind will bury my voice in their wake
Caught in a Web Removed from the world Hanging on by a thread Spinning the lies devised in my head I've seen the path the one you take shows the truth for you to make This turn of phrase we might not see is the thirst of desire found so easily
Try to push me 'round the world some more And make me live in fear I bare all that I am made of now Attractive I don't care 'Cause even when I danced with life no one was there to share
Does this voice the wounds of your soul?
Caught in a Web Removed from the world Hanging on by a thread Spinning the lies devised in my head
Tried to live the life you live and saw It doesn't work for me I bare all that I am made of now Attractive, I can't be Inside the Dance of Life is one I'll never hold to me
You can't heal the wounds of my soul.

Daybreak at the bottom of lake it's a hundred degrees I can't breathe And I won't get out 'til I figure it out though I'm weak like I can't believe So you tell me "trust me" l can trust you just let me show you But I gotta work it out in a shadow of doubt 'cause I don't know if I know you Doing fine but don't waste my time tell me what it is you want to say You sin, you win, just let me in--hurry I've been out in the rain all day So you tell me "trust me" I can trust you as far as I can throw you And I'm trying to get out of a shadow of doubt 'cause I don't know if I know you
Don't tell me you wanted me Don't tell me you thought of me I won't, I swear I won't {Did) I'11 try, I swear I'll try (Lie)
Mother Mary quite contrary kiss the boys and make them wary things are getting just a little bit scarry It's a wonder I can still breathe Never been much of a doubting Thomas but nothing breaks like a broken promise You tell me 'bout your two more coming but once is just enough for me
I had gotten used to being a soul destroyed She comes in apparently to fill the void All dogs need a leash and at least I'll forget it And she would never hurt me though she's never said it But I'm not gonna ask her today I don't wanna scare her away Your town, I'm all alone and I just can't stare at the phone I wanna talk about lifelong mistakes and you can tell your stepfather I said so
There, there it is I swear he's gonna murder that poor kid Wait, I hear it again Don't turn on the lights until we Hear the way it ends Under Peruvian skies Vanessa regret fully waits The story unfolds in her eyes Where midnight hysteria's No big surprise Battered and bruised Always confusing The love that she's losing for hate Poor Vanessa Hey, I hope you know I'm taking all of this time with me when I go Shame, you're not to blame I'm the monster you created In your daddy's name Under Peruvian skies Vanessa regret fully waits The story unfolds in her eyes Where midnight hysteria's No big surprise Battered and bruised Always confusing The love that she's losing for hate Poor Vanessa Terror by night Liar by day Telling her secrets Won't take them away Under Peruvian skies Vanessa regret fully waits The story unfolds in her eyes Where midnight hysteria's No big surprise Battered and bruised Always confusing The love that she's losing for hate
Lost in the sky Clouds roll by and I roo with them Arrows fly Seas increase and then fall again
This world is spinning around me This world is spinning without me Every day sends future to past Every breath leaves me one less to my last
Watch the sparrow falling Gives new meaning to it all If not today nor yet tomorrow then some other day
I'll take seven lives for one And then my only father's son As sure as I did ever love him I am not afraid
This world is spinning around me The whole world keeps spinning around me All life is future to past Every breath leaves me one less to my last
Pull me under Pull me under Pull me under I'm not afraid All that I feel is honor and spite All I can do is set it right
Dust fills my eyes Clouds roll by and I roll with them Centuries cry Orders fly and I fall again This world is spinning inside me The whole world is spinning inside of me Every day sends future to past Every step brings me closer to my last
Pull me under Pull me under Pull me under I'm not afraid Living my life too much in the sun Only until your will is done.
To Rise, To Fall. To Hurt, To Hate. To Want, To Wait. To Heal, To Save.
Can't hear it we fear it awareness won't come near it
Distractive Reactive Disguised in spite of time
I never bared my emotion My passion always strong I never lost my devotion but somewhere fate went wrong
Can't let them rape me again Your venom's not family here won't let them fill me with fatalistic remedies
What if the rest of the world was hopelessly blinded by fear? Where would my sanctity live? Suddenly nobody cares.
It's never enough You're wasting your time Isn't there something I could say? You don't understand You're closing me out How can we live our lives this way?
You tell me I'm wrong I'm risking my life Still, I have nothing in return I show you my hands You don't see the scars Maybe you'll leave me here to burn.
What if the rest of the world was hopelessly drowning in vain? Where would our self pity run? Suddenly everyone cares.
Blood...Heal me Fear...Change me Belief will always save me Blood...Swearing Fear...Staring Conviction made aware
Give up on misery Turn your back on dissent Leave their distrust behind Wash your hands of regret
Do you feel you don't know me anymore? And do you feel I'm afraid of your love? And how come you don't want me asking? And how come my heart's not invited? You say you want everyone happy Well, we're not laughing.
And how come you don't understand me? And how come I don't understand you? Thirty years say we're in this together So open your eyes.
People in prayer for me everyone there for me Sometimes I feel I should face this alone My soul exposed It calms me to know that I won't
Blood...Heal me Fear...Change me Belief will always save me Blood...Swearing Fear...Staring Conviction made aware
Give up on misery Turn your back on dissent Leave their distrust behind Wash your hands of regret
Blood...Heal me Fear...Change me Belief will always save me Blood...Swearing Fear...Staring Conviction made aware
Learning from misery Staring back at dissent Leaving distrust behind I'm inspired and content
i. It's Raining Under the sun, there is nothing to hide Under the moon, a stranger waits inside People disappear The music fades away Splashing through the rain I'll dream with them one day
It's raining, raining, On the streets of New York City It's raining, raining, raining, deep in heaven
I may have wasted all those years They're not worth their time in tears I may have spent too long in darkness In the warmth of my fears
Take a look at yourself Not at anyone else And tell me what you see I know the air is cold I know the streets are cruel But I'll enjoy the ride today
It's raining, raining, On the streets of New York City It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven Raining deep in heaven
I may have wasted all those years They're not worth their time in tears I may have spent too long in darkness In the warmth of my fears
As I walk through all my myths Rising and sinking like the waves With my thoughts wrapped around me Through a trial of tears
Hidden by disguise, stumbling in a world Feeling uninspired, he gets into his car Not within his eyes to see, open up, open up Not much better than the man you hate
ii. Deep In Heaven (instrumental)
iii. The Wasteland Still awake I continue to move along Cultivating my own nonsense Welcome to the wasteland Where you'll find ashes, nothing but ashes Still awake Bringing change, bringing movement, bringing life A silent prayer thrown away, Disappearing in the air Rising, sinking, raining deep inside me Nowhere to turn, I look for a way back home
It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven It's raining, raining, raining deep in heaven

Take Away My Pain-Dream Theater I was sitting on the edge of his bed Staring at the headlines on the paper He said, "Look at poor Gene Kelly I guess he won't be singing in the rain." You can take away my heroes Can you take away my pain Take away my pain Leave the cold outside Please don't let it rain Don't stumble on my pride Take away my pain I'm not frightened anymore Just stay with me tonight I'm tired of this fight Soon I'll be knocking at you're door She was standing by the edge of his bed Satring at the message on their faces He said, " What else can you do babe? I guess I won't be coming home again." They just took away all my promises Make them take away my pain Take away my pain Leave the cold outside Please don't let it rain Don't stumble on my pride Take away my pain I'm not frightened anymore Just stay with me tonight I'm tired of this fight Soon I'll be knocking at you're door His final scene The actor bows And all those years Are gone somehow The crowd applauds The curtain falls I was standing by the edge of the water I noticed my reflection in the waves Then I saw you looking back at me And I knew that for a moment You were calling out my name You took away my hero Will you take away my pain Take away my pain Let the cold inside It's time to let it rain There's nothing left to hide Take away my pain I'm not frightened anymore I'm learnig to survive Without you in my life Til you come knocking at my door.......

> The smile of dawn Arrived early May She carried a gift from her home The night shed a tear To tell her of fear And of sorrow and pain She'll never outgrow Death is the first dance, eternal There's no more freedom The both of you will be confined To this mind I was told there's a miracle For each day that I try I was told there's a new love that's born For each one that has died I was told there'd be no one to call on When I feel alone and afraid I was told if you dream of the next world You'll find yourself Swimming in a lake of fire As a child I thought I could live without pain Without sorrow But as a man I've found it's all caught up with me I'm asleep yet I'm so afraid Somewhere, like a scene from a memory (scene from a memory) There's a picture worth a thousand words (thousand words) Eluding stares from faces before me (faces before me) It hides away and will never be heard of again Deceit is the second without end The city's cold blood teaches us to survive Just keep my heart in your eyes and we'll stay alive The third arrives...
Before the leaves have fallen Before we lock the doors There must be the third and last dance This one will last forever Metropolis watches and thoughtfully smiles She's taken you to your home It can only take place When the struggle between Our children has ended Now the Miracle and the Sleeper know That the third is love Love is the Dance of Eternity
There was no time for pain No energy for anger The sightlessness of hatred slips away Walking through winter streets alone He stops and takes a breath With confidence and self control I look at the world and see no understanding I'm waiting to find some sense of strength I'm begging you from the bottom of my heart to show some understanding
I need to live life Like some people never will So find me kindness Find me beauty Find me truth When temptation brings me to my knees And I lay here drained on stength Show me kindness Show me beauty Show me truth
The ways that your heart sounds makes all the difference It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel The way that your heart beats makes all the difference In learning to live Here before me is my soul I'm learning to live I won't give up Till I've no more to give
Listening to the city Whispering its violence I set out watching from above The 90's bring new questions New solutions to be found I fell in love to be let down
Once again we dance in the crowd At times a step away )From a common fear that's all spread out It won't listen to what you say Once you're touched and you stand alone To face the bitter fight Once I reached for love And now I reach for life
Another chance to lift my life Free the sensation in my heart To ride the wings of dreams into changing horizons It brings inner peace within my mind, As I'm lifted from where I've split my life I hear an innocnet voice I hear kindness, beauty and truth
The way your heart sounds makes all the difference It's what decides if you'll endure the pain that we all feel The way your heart beats makes all the difference In learning to live Spread before you is your soul So forever hold the dreams within our hearts Through nature's inflexible grace
I'm much wiser now A lifetime of memories run through my head They taught me how for better or worse, alive or dead I realize there's no turning back Life goes on the offbeaten track I sit down with my son Set to see the Crimson Sunset (Gather ye rosebuds while ye may) Many years have come and gone I've lived my life, but now must move on (Gather ye rosebuds while ye may) He's my only one Now that my time has come Now that my life is done We look into the sun 'Seize the day and don't you cry, Now it's time to say good-bye Even though I'll be gone, I will live on, live on.'
