Lyrics

[00:44.23] Dream Theater Awake
[00:55.11] By Ayan.SayNo
[01:07.66] 'love, just don't stare'
[01:16.53] He used to say to me
[01:20.18] Every sunday morning
[01:23.92] The spider in the window
[01:28.65] The angel in the pool
[01:31.67] The old man takes the poison
[01:35.11] Now the widow makes the rules
[01:39.19]
[01:54.22] 'so speak, i'm right here'
[02:02.24] She used to say to me
[02:06.27] Not a word, not a word
[02:11.19] Judas on the ceiling
[02:14.66] The devil in my bed
[02:18.24] I guess easter's never coming
[02:22.25] So i'll just wait inside my head
[02:27.97]
[02:42.75] Like a scream but sort of silent
[02:46.28] Living off my nightmares
[02:51.10]
[02:51.99] Voices repeating me
[02:57.53] 'feeling threatened?
[03:00.29] We reflect your hopes and fears.'
[03:04.70] Voices discussing me
[03:10.12] 'others steal your thoughts
[03:12.63] They're not confined
[03:13.98] Within your mind.'
[03:16.63]
[03:26.03] Thought disorder
[03:27.50] Dream control
[03:29.13] Now they read my mind on the radio
[03:34.60] But where was the garden of eden?
[03:36.99]
[03:40.10] I feel elated
[03:41.61] I feel depressed
[03:43.63] Sex is death, death is sex
[03:48.93] Says it right here on my crucifix
[03:52.04]
[03:54.71] Like a scream but sort of silent
[03:58.06] Living off my nightmares
[04:02.34]
[04:03.39] Voices protecting me
[04:08.72] 'good behavior
[04:11.62] Brings the savior
[04:13.63] To his knees.'
[04:16.17] Voices rejecting me
[04:21.53] 'others steal your thoughts
[04:23.95] They're not confined
[04:25.80] To your own mind.'
[04:28.87]
[04:29.63] "i don't wanna be here, 'cause of my
[04:32.27] Suffering, 'cause of my illness.
[04:36.01] Only love is worth having, only
[04:40.21] Love is what matters, loving every
[04:42.79] People on equal terms. "
[04:44.73] "you've got to know who you're
[04:46.48] Dealin' with because, like a stranger,
[04:48.01] A-heh, just might come in through
[04:51.33] Here with a gun... and then, what
[04:53.66] Would you do? (heh.)"
[04:56.38] "everything is immaterial..."
[04:59.27] "'n' you know that reality is immaterial."
[05:01.48] "this is not reality..."
[05:06.98]
[05:14.21] I'm kneeling on the floor
[05:18.54] Staring at the wall
[05:22.07] Like the spider in the window
[05:26.00] I wish that i could speak
[05:29.71] Is there fantasy in refuge?
[05:33.36] God in politicians?
[05:36.70] Should i turn on my religion?
[05:40.37] These demons in my head tell me to
[05:46.58]
[06:11.23] I'm lying here in bed
[06:15.46] Swear my skin is inside out
[06:19.15] Just another sunday morning
[06:25.45]
[06:25.88] Seen my diary on the newsstand
[06:28.95] Seems we've lost the truth to quicksand
[06:31.18] It's a shame no one is praying
[06:35.23] 'cause these voices in my head
[06:38.82] Keep saying...
[06:41.78]
[06:43.24] 'love, just don't stare.'
[06:48.40] 'reveal the word when you're
[06:49.86] Supposed to'
[06:53.49] Withdrawn and introverted
[06:56.69] Infectiously perverted
[06:59.92] 'being laughed at and confused
[07:03.29] Keeps us pleasantly amused
[07:06.79] Enough to stay.'
[07:08.61]
[08:19.15] Maybe i'm just cassandra fleeting
[08:22.09] Twentieth century icon bleeding
[08:25.51] Willing to risk salvation
[08:29.20] To escape from isolation
[08:31.84]
[08:32.46] I'm witness to redemption
[08:35.26] Heard you speak but never listened
[08:38.28] Can you rid me of my secrets?
[08:42.21] Deliver us from darkness?
[08:45.81]
[08:53.60] Voices repeating me
[09:00.39] 'feeling threatened?
[09:03.32] We reflect your hopes and fears.'
[09:07.29] Voices discussing me
[09:12.74] Don't expect your own messiah
[09:16.13] This neverworld which you desire
[09:19.46] Is only in your mind.
