Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence |
|
Music: Dream Theater |
|
Standing in the darkness |
|
Waiting for the light |
|
The smell of pure adrenaline |
|
Burning in the night |
|
Random blinding flashes |
|
Aiming at the stage |
|
Intro tape begins to roll |
|
Igniting sonic rage |
|
Still they keep me between these hollow walls |
|
Hoping to find in me |
|
The answers to the test that stumped them all |
|
"The boy is simply crazy |
|
Suffering from delusions |
|
We honestly think that maybe |
|
He might need an institution |
|
He lives in a world of fiction |
|
And really could use some help |
|
We have just the place to fix him |
|
To save him from himself" |
|
Curled up in the darkness |
|
Searching for the light |
|
The smell of stale sweat and shit |
|
Streaming through the night |
|
Random urine testing |
|
Pills red, pink and blue |
|
Counseling and therapy |
|
Providing not a clue |
|
Still they keep me between these hollow walls |
|
Hoping to find in me |
|
The answers to the test that stumped them all |
|
"We can't seem to find the answers |
|
He seemed such a clear cut case |
|
We cannot just let him leave here |
|
And put all this work to waste |
|
Why don't we try shock treatment |
|
It really might do some help |
|
We have just the tools to fix him |
|
To save him from himself" |
