Lyrics

[00:01.46] scarred
[00:04.53] dream theater
[00:07.12] awake
[00:09.63]
[00:12.14] music: dream theater
[00:14.77] lyrics: john petrucci
[00:17.26]
[01:07.20] to rise, to fall.
[01:12.45] to hurt, to hate.
[01:17.61] to want, to wait.
[01:22.75] to heal, to save.
[01:26.70]
[01:29.28] can't hear it
[01:31.56] we fear it
[01:34.12] awareness won't come near it
[01:38.58]
[01:39.29] distractive
[01:41.91] reactive
[01:44.56] disguised in spite of time
[01:49.18]
[02:37.12] i never bared my emotion
[02:39.49] my passion always strong
[02:44.93] i never lost my devotion
[02:47.06] but somewhere fate went wrong
[02:51.67]
[03:01.91] can't let them rape me again
[03:05.30] your venom's not family here
[03:09.20] won't let them fill me with
[03:11.71] fatalistic remedies
[03:15.38]
[03:17.58] what if the rest of the world
[03:20.61] was hopelessly blinded by fear?
[03:26.35] where would my sanctity live?
[03:29.56] suddenly nobody cares.
[03:34.44]
[03:43.79] it's never enough
[03:45.13] you're wasting your time
[03:46.82] isn't there something i could say?
[03:49.83] you don't understand
[03:51.19] you're closing me out
[03:52.82] how can we live our lives this way?
[03:55.60]
[04:05.41] you tell me i'm wrong
[04:06.90] i'm risking my life
[04:08.47] still, i have nothing in return
[04:11.47] i show you my hands
[04:13.03] you don't see the scars
[04:14.70] maybe you'll leave me here to burn.
[04:17.63]
[04:18.45] what if the rest of the world
[04:21.40] was hopelessly drowning in vain?
[04:27.04] where would our self pity run?
[04:30.45] suddenly everyone cares.
[04:35.05]
[04:35.60] blood...heal me
[04:37.96] fear...change me
[04:40.20] belief will always save me
[04:44.68] blood...swearing
[04:47.02] fear...staring
[04:49.30] conviction made aware
[04:53.58]
[04:54.35] give up on misery
[04:59.54] turn your back on dissent
[05:03.92] leave their distrust behind
[05:09.12] wash your hands of regret
[05:12.17]
[05:13.92] do you feel you don't know me anymore?
[05:22.26] and do you feel i'm afraid of your love?
[05:31.61] and how come you don't want me asking?
[05:35.96] and how come my heart's not invited?
[05:40.71] you say you want everyone happy
[05:45.24] well, we're not laughing.
[05:48.66]
[05:49.86] and how come you don't understand me?
[05:54.50] and how come i don't understand you?
[05:59.16] thirty years say we're in this together
[06:03.81] so open your eyes.
[06:07.38]
[06:07.87] people in prayer for me
[06:09.71] everyone there for me
[06:12.02] sometimes i feel i should face this alone
[06:16.39] my soul exposed
[06:18.62] it calms me to know that i won't
[06:25.33]
[06:26.28] blood...heal me
[06:28.58] fear...change me
[06:30.90] belief will always save me
[06:35.47] blood...swearing
[06:37.75] fear...staring
[06:40.03] conviction made aware
[06:44.03]
[06:45.10] give up on misery
[06:50.23] turn your back on dissent
[06:54.54] leave their distrust behind
[06:59.71] wash your hands of regret
[07:02.79]
[08:53.34] blood...heal me
[08:55.62] fear...change me
[08:57.91] belief will always save me
[09:02.45] blood...swearing
[09:04.81] fear...staring
[09:07.16] conviction made aware
[09:11.22]
[09:12.39] learning from misery
[09:17.35] staring back at dissent
[09:21.78] leaving distrust behind
[09:26.94] i'm inspired and content
[09:29.95]
[00:00.05]
