Dream Theater - Greatest Hit: And 21 Other Pretty Cool Songs [compilation] (2008) by Dream Theater (보컬) on maniadb.com

Daybreak
at the bottom of lake
it's a hundred degrees
I can't breathe
And I won't get out
til I figure it out
Though I'm weak like
I can't believe
So you tell me trust me
l can trust you
Just let me show you
But I gotta work it out
in a shadow of doubt
cause I don't know
if I know you

Doing fine
but don't waste my time
Tell me what
it is you want to say
You sin you win
just let me in hurry
I've been out
in the rain all day
So you tell me trust me
I can trust you
as far as I can throw you
And I'm trying to
get out of a shadow of doubt
cause I don't know
if I know you
Don't tell me you wanted me
Don't tell me
you thought of me
I won't I swear I won't

I'll try I swear I'll try

Mother Mary quite contrary
Kiss the boys and
make them wary
Things are getting
just a little bit scary
It's a wonder
I can still breathe
Never been much of
a doubting Thomas
but nothing breaks like a
broken promise
You tell me bout
your two more coming
but once is just enough for me
Don't tell me you wanted me
Don't tell me
you thought of me
I won't I swear I won't

I'll try I swear I'll try

I had gotten used to being
a soul destroyed
She comes in apparently
to fill the void
All dogs need a leash and
at least I'll forget it
And she would
never hurt me though
she's never said it
But I'm not gonna
ask her today
I don't wanna scare her away
Your town I'm all alone
and I just can't stare
at the phone
I wanna talk about
lifelong mistakes
and you can tell
your stepfather I said so

Don't tell me you wanted me
Don't tell me
you thought of me
I won't I swear I won't

I'll try I swear I'll try

There there it is
I swear he's gonna murder
that poor kid
Wait I hear it again
Don't turn on the lights
until we
Hear the way it ends
Under peruvian skies
Vanessa regretfully waits
The story unfolds
in her eyes
Where midnight hysteria's
No big surprise
Battered and bruised
Always confusing
The love that
she's losing for hate
Poor Vanessa

Poor Vanessa

Hey I hope you know
I'm taking all of this time
with me when I go
Shame you're not to blame
I'm the monster you created
In your daddy's name
Under peruvian skies
Vanessa regretfully waits
The story unfolds
in her eyes
Where midnight hysteria's
No big surprise
Battered and bruised
Always confusing
The love that
she's losing for hate
Poor Vanessa
Poor Vanessa
Terror by night
Liar by day
Telling her secrets
Won't take them away

Under peruvian skies
Vanessa regretfully waits
The story unfolds
in her eyes
Where midnight hysteria's
No big surprise
Battered and bruised
Always confusing
The love that
she's losing for hate

Shine lake of fire
Lines take me higher
My mind drips desire
Confined and overtired
Living this charade
Is getting me nowhere
I can't shake this charade
The city's cold blood
calls me home
Home It's what I long
for Back home where I belong
The city it calls to me
Decadent scenes
from my memory
Sorrow eternity
My demons are coming to
drown me
Help I'm falling
I'm crawling
I can't keep away
from its clutch
Can't have it this habit
It's calling me back
to my home

I never thought that I
Could carry on with this life
But I can't resist myself
No matter how hard I try
Living their other life
Is getting them nowhere
I'll make her my wife
Her sweet temptation
calls me home
Home It's what I long for
My home where she belongs
Her story it holds the key
Unlocking dreams
from my memory
Solving this mystery
Is everything
that is a part of me
Help regression obsession
I can't keep away
from it's clutch
Leave no doubt to find out
It's calling me
back to my home

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

Don't
Tell me what's in
Tell me how to write
Don't tell me how to win
This fight
Isn't your life
It isn't your right
To take the only thing
that's mine
Proven over time
It's over your head
Don't try to read between the
Lines
Are clearly defined
Never lose sight of
Something you believe in
Takin' in the view from
the outside
Feeling like the underdog
Watching through the window
I'm on the outside
Living like the underdog
I've been trying
to justify you
In the end I will
just defy you
To those who understand
I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand
take me as I am
Not under your command
I know where I stand
I won't change to fit
your man
Take me as I am
As I am

Still
Running uphill
Swimming against the current
I wish I weren't so
Fucked
Feels like I'm stuck
Lost in a sea of mediocrity
Slow down
You're thinking too much
Where is your soul
You cannot touch
The way I Play
Or tell me what to say
You're in the way
Of all that I believe in
Takin in the view from
the outside
Feeling like the underdog
Watching through the window
I'm on the outside
Living like the underdog
I've been wasting my breath
on you
Open minds will descend
upon you
To those who understand
I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand
take me as I am
Not under your command
I know where I stand
I won't change to fit
your plan take me as I am

To those who understand
I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand
take me as I am
Not under your command
I know where I stand
I won't change to fit
your plan take me as I am
As I am
Yeah
As I am

Cold
Lying in my bed
Staring into darkness
Lost
I hear footsteps overhead
And my thoughts return
Again
Like a child who's run away
And won't be coming back
Time keeps passing by
As night turns into day
I'm so far away
And so alone
I need to see your face
To keep me sane
To make we whole
Try to stay alive
Until I hear your voice
I'm gonna lose my mind
Someone tell me why
I chose this life
This superficial lie
Constant compromise
Endless sacrifice

Pain
It saddens me to know
The helplessness you feel
Your light
Shines on my soul
While a thousand candles
Burn
Outside this barren room
The rain is pouring down
The emptiness inside
Is growing deeper still
You're so far away
And so alone
You long for love's embrace
To keep you sane
To make you whole
Try to stay alive
Until I hear your voice
I'm gonna lose my mind
Someone tell me why
I chose this life
This superficial lie
Constant compromise
Endless sacrifice
Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice
Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice

Over the distance
We try to make sense
Of surviving together
While living apart
Striving for balance
We rise to the challenge
Of staying connected
In spite of circumstance

All you've forsaken
And all that you've done
So that I could live out
This undying dream
Won't be forgotten
Or taken for granted
I'll always remember
Your endless sacrifice

Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice
Moments wasted
Isolated
Time escaping
Endless sacrifice

Proud enough for you to
Call me arrogant
Greedy enough
to be labeled a thief
Angry enough for
me to go and hurt a man
Cruel enough for
me to feel no grief
Never could have
just a part of it
I always need more to get by
Getting right down
to the heart of it
The root of all evil
has been running my whole life

Dirty enough for me to lust
Leaving nothing left to trust
Jealous enough
to still feel envious
Lazy enough to sleep all day
And let my life just waste away
Selfish enough
to make you wait for me
Travelling blindly by our sins
Mislead so easily
Entirely ready to leave all behind
I'm begging to break free
Take all of me
The desires that keep
burning deep inside
Cast them all away
And help to give me
strenght to face another day
I am ready
Help me be what I can't be

Self centered
fear has got a hold me
Clutching my throat
Self righteous anger
running all through me
Ready to explode
Procrastination paralyzing me
Wanting me dead
These obsessions that
keep haunting me
Won't leave my head
Help to do for me what
I can't do myself
Take this tear and pain
I can't break out of
this prison all alone
Help me break these chains
Humility now my only hope
Won't you take all of me
Heal this dying soul
I can feel my body breaking
I can feel my body breaking
I'm ready to let it all go
I can feel my body shaking
Right down to the foundation
The root of it all

Take all of me
The desires that
keep burning deep inside
Cast them all away
And help to give me
strenghtt to face another day
I am ready
Help me be What I can't be
I am ready
Come to me
Take me away

DWalls are closing anxiously
Channel surfing frantically
Burning city, smoke and fire
Planes, we're certain
Faith inspired
No clues a complete surprise
We'll be coming home tonight

Heads are turning towards the sky
Towers crumble, heroes die
Who would wish this on our people
And proclaim that his will be done

Scriptures say he had misled them
All praise their sacrificed sons
All praise their sacrificed sons

Teach them what to think and say
Your ways so enlightening
Words they preach
I can't relate
If God's true Love
Are acts of Hate
Who would wish this on our people
And proclaim that his will be done
Scriptures say he had misled them
All praise their sacrificed sons
All praise their sacrificed sons
God on high
A mistake
Will mankind
Be extinct

There's no time
Time to waste
Who serves the truth
For heaven's sake
