Vacant

Hey you, Hey you

Hey you, Hey you

I’m right here

I’m right here

Conscience fading

Conscience fading

Can’t get through

Can’t get through

Oh Lord

Oh Lord

Helpless

Helpless

Confused

Confused

Head swayed

Head swayed

Eyes glazed

Eyes glazed

And mine teared

And mine teared

She’s losing control

She’s losing control

What can I do

What can I do

Her vacant eyes

Her vacant eyes

Black holes

Black holes

Am I losing you

Am I losing you

Under A Glass Moon

Title: Under A Glass Moon

Tell me
Remind me
Chase the water racing from the sky
Always beside me
Taste the memories running from my eyes
Nervous flashlights scan my dreams
Liquid shadows silence their screams
I smile at the moon
Chasing water from the sky
I argue with the clouds
Stealing beauty from my eyes

Outside the soundness of your mind
Bathing your soul in silver tears
Beneath a blackened summer sky
Praying for time to disappear

Beneath a summer day
Under glass moonlight
Night awaits the lamb’s arrival
Liquid shadows crawl
Silver teardrops fall
The bride subsides to her survival

By your hand
I’ve awakened
Bear this honor in my name

Taje The Time

Artist: Dream Theater
Album: Images And Words
Title: Take The Time

Just let me catch my breath
I’ve heard the promises
I’ve seen the mistakes
I’ve had my fair share of tough breaks
I need a new voice, a new law, a new way
Take the time, reevaluate
It’s time to pick up the pieces
Go back to square one
I think it’s time for a change

There is someting that I feel
To be something that is real
I feel the heat within my mind
And craft new changes with my eyes
Giving freely wandering promises
A place with decisions I’ll fashion
I won’t waste another breath

You can feel the waves coming on
(It’s time to take the time)
Let them destroy you or carry you on
(It’s time to take the time)
You’re fighting the weight of the world
But no one can save you this time
Close your eyes
You can find all you need in your mind

The unbroken spirit
Obscured and disquiet
Finds clearness this trial demands
And at the end of this day sighs an anxious relief
For the fortune lies still in his hands

If there’s a pensive fear, a wasted year
A man must learn to cope
If his obsession’s real
Suppression that he feels must turn to hope

Life is no more assuring than love
(It’s time to take the time)
There are no answers from voices above
(It’s time to take the time)
Youre fighting the weight of the world
And no one can save you this time
Close your eyes
You can find all you need in your mind

I close my eyes
And feel the water rise around me
Drown the beat of time
Let my senses fall away
I can see mcuh clearer now I’m blind

Find all you need in your mind
If you take the time

[00:02.24]Hypnotherapist:

[00:02.62]“You are once again surrounded by a brilliant white light.

[00:06.71]Allow the light to lead you away from your past and into this lifetime.

[00:11.35]As the light dissipates you will slowly fade back into consciousness

[00:15.47]remembering all you have learned.

[00:18.30]When I tell you to open your eyes you will return to the present,

[00:21.53]feeling peaceful and refreshed.

[00:26.82]Open your eyes, Nicholas.”

[00:31.42]The Miracle:

[01:42.99]Friday evening

[01:45.97]The blood still on my hands

[01:48.86]To think that she would leave me now

[01:51.62]For that ungrateful man

[01:54.69]Sole survivor

[01:57.40]No witness to the crime

[01:59.86]I must act fast to cover up

[02:03.09]I think that there’s still time

[02:06.35]He’d seem hopeless and lost with this note

[02:12.38]They’ll buy into the words that I wrote

[02:20.51]“This feeling inside me

[02:25.09]Finally found my love, I’ve finally broke free

[02:32.33]No longer torn in two

[02:36.62]I’d take my own life before losing you”

[02:47.52]Victoria:

[02:54.00]Feeling good this Friday afternoon

[02:58.51]I ran into Julian

[03:01.00]Said we’d get together soon

[03:04.49]He’s always had my heart

[03:07.24]He needs to know

[03:10.16]I’ll break free of the Miracle

[03:12.75]It’s time for him to go

[03:15.96]This feeling inside me

[03:25.88]Finally found my love, I’ve finally broke free

[03:28.52]No longer torn in two

[03:32.94]He’d kill his brother if he only knew

[03:41.08]Their love renewed

[03:43.76]They’d rendezvous

[03:47.31]In a pathway out of view

[03:50.68]They thought no one knew

[03:54.88]Then came a shot out of the night

[04:07.14]The Sleeper:

[04:48.42]One last time

[04:53.00]We’ll lay down today

[04:58.01]One last time

[05:02.79]Until we fade away

[05:07.97]One last time

[05:13.05]We’ll lay down today

[05:18.23]One last time

[05:24.63]We fade away

[05:54.98]As their bodies lie still

[05:58.98]And the ending draws near

[06:02.28]Spirits rise through the air

[06:06.47]All their fears disappear, it all becomes clear

[06:11.95]A blinding light comes into view

[06:15.55]An old soul exchanged for a new

[06:19.60]A familiar voice comes shining through

[06:24.46]Nicholas:

[06:29.32]This feeling inside me

[06:33.67]Finally found my life, I’m finally free

[06:39.48]No longer torn in two

[06:44.91]I learned about my life by living through you

[06:52.04]This feeling inside me

[06:55.80]Finally found my life, I’m finally free

[07:02.60]No longer torn in two

[07:08.28]Living my own life by learning from you

[07:15.51]We’ll meet again my friend someday soon

[08:44.19]CNN report:

[10:12.88]“news in London, France, Russia and Italy have deleted their

[10:15.51]lead story, all anticipating the outcome of the man considered to

[10:18.56]be a member of American nobility. And as you can imagine, as

[10:22.19]the skies have grown darker here over Washington, the mood

[10:25.71]has grown darker as well and people here are beginning to

[10:28.18]resign themselves to the possibility that they are witnessing yet

[00:47.30]I shut the door and traveled to another home

[02:44.20]A mystery still today

[02:50.70]I tried to get more answers

[02:54.60]But he said, you’re on your own.

[02:58.60]Then he turned away and left me

Title: Surrounded

Morning comes to early and nighttime falls too late
And sometimes all I want to do is wait
The shadow I’ve been hiding in has fled from me today

I know it’s easier to walk away than look it in the eye
But I will raise a shelter to the sky
And here beneath this star tonight I’ll lie
She will slowly yeild the light as I awaken from the longest night

Dreams are shaking
Set sirens waking up tired eyes
WIth the light the memories all rush into his head

By a candle stands a mirror
Of his heart and soul she dances
She was dancing through the night above his head

And walking to the window he throws the shutters out against the wall
ANd from an ivory tower hears her call
“Let light surround you”

It’s been a long, long time
He’s had a while to think it over
In the end he only sees the change
Light to dark
Dark to light
Light to dark
Dark to light

Heaven must be more than this
When angels waken with a kiss
Sacred hearts won’t take the pain
But mine will never be the same

He stands before the window
His shadow slowly fading from the wall
And from an ivory tower he hears her call
“Let the light surround you”

Once lost but I was found
When I heard the stained glass shatter all around me
I sent the spirits tumbling down the hill
But I will hold this one on high above me still
She whispers words to clear my mind
I once could see but now at last I’m blind

I know it’s easier to walk away than look it in the eye
But I had given all I could take
And now I’ve only habits left to break
Tonight I’ll still be lying here
Surrounded in all the light

[00:10.54]\close your eyes and begin to relax. take a deep breath, and let it out slowly.

[00:16.27]concentrate on your breathing. with each breath you become more relaxed.

[00:22.55] imagine a brilliant white light above you

[00:25.36], focusing on this light as it flows through your body.

[00:28.97]allow yourself to drift off as you fall deeper and deeper into a more relaxed state of mind.

[00:35.68]now as i count backward from ten to one, you will

[00:37.42]Feel more peaceful, and calm. ten. nine. eight. seven. six.

[00:47.75]you will enter a safe place where nothing can harm you. five. four. three. two.

[01:37.34]Lost in the haze of a dream

[01:44.49]And as i draw near

Pull Me Under

Artist: Dream Theater
Album: Images And Words
Title: Pull Me Under

Lost in the sky
Clouds roll by and I roll 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 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

Metropolis-Part I (The Miracle And The Sleeper)

Artist: Dream Theater
Album: Images And Words
Title: Metropolis-Part I (The Miracle And The Sleeper)

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
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
There’s a picture worth a thousand words
Eleuding stares from 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

Wait For Sleep

Artist: Dream Theater
Album: Images And Words
Title: Wait For Sleep

(Kevin Moore)

Standing by the window
Eyes upon the moon
Hoping that the memory will leave her spirit soon

She shuts the doors and lights
And lays her body on the bed
Where images and words are running deep
SHe has too much pride to pull the sheets above her head
So quietly she lays and waits for sleep

She stares at the ceiling
ANd tries not to think
ANd pictures the chain
SHe’s been trying to link again
But the feeling is gone

And water can’t cover her memory
And ashes can’t answer her pain
God give me the power to take breath from a breeze
And call life from a cold metal frame

In with the ashes
Or up with the smoke from the fire
With wings up in heaven
Or here, lying in bed
Palm of her hand to my head
Now and forever curled in my heart
And the heart of the world
