[00:23.57] Lyrics: Mike Portnoy
[00:27.96]
[01:24.25] Temptation-
[01:26.07] Why won't you leave me alone?
[01:29.35] Lurking Every Corner, everywhere I go
[01:32.56]
[01:32.83] Self Control-
[01:34.49] Don't turn your back on me now
[01:37.92] When I need you the most
[01:39.16]
[01:41.84] Constant pressure tests my will
[01:46.83] My will or my won't
[01:50.50] My Self Control escapes from me still...
[01:55.15]
[02:26.75] Hypocrite-
[02:28.37] How could you be so cruel
[02:31.88] And expect my faith in return?
[02:35.50]
[02:35.75] Resistance-
[02:36.64] Is not as hard as it seems
[02:39.88] When you close the door
[02:41.54]
[02:44.00] I spent so long trusting in you
[02:48.98] I trust you forgot
[02:52.06] Just when I thought I believed in you...
[02:56.41]
[02:56.92] <Sample is Meryl Streep from the film "Falling In Love".>
[02:57.22] "What're you doing?
[02:59.09] What're you doing?"
[02:59.72]
[02:59.93] It's time for me to deal
[03:02.22] Becoming all too real
[03:04.95] Living in fear-
[03:06.40] Why did you lie and pretend?
[03:09.19] This has come to an end
[03:11.90] I'll never trust you again
[03:14.69] It's time you made your amends
[03:19.13] Look in the mirror my friend
[03:21.52]
[03:23.37] <Sample is Jeremy Irons from the film "Damage".>
[03:23.63] "That I haven't behaved as I should"
[03:24.99] <Sample is Mary Beth Hurt from the film "Light Sleeper".>
[03:25.62] "Everything you need is around you.
[03:30.68] The only danger is inside you."
[03:34.42] <Sample is Jeremy Irons from the film "Damage".>
[03:34.69] "I thought you could control life, but it's not like that..
[03:43.12] There are things you can't control."
[03:44.23]
[03:45.31] Let's stare the problem right in the eye
[03:52.58] It's plagued me from coast to coast
[03:57.02] Racing the clock to please everyone
[04:03.10] All but the one who matters the most
[04:07.90]
[04:09.13] Reflections of reality
[04:14.78] Are slowly coming into view
[04:19.70] How in the hell could you possibly forgive me?
[04:26.90] After all the hell I put you through
[04:32.50]
[04:53.78] It's time for me to deal
[04:56.50] Becoming all too real
[04:59.23] Living in fear-
[05:00.69] Why'd I betray my friend?
[05:03.57] Lying until the end
[05:06.64] Living life so pretend
[05:09.32] It's time to make my amends
[05:13.54] I'll never hurt you again
[05:21.41]
