D.C. Cooper - Lead vocals. . When every word has been written. And every line has been read. When every person cries for justice. When every partner drops dead.
James LaBrie - Lead vocals. Trent Gardner - Harmonies. . (Gardner solo). (Bemesderfer solo). . Just call me Mr. Dark - Mr. Negative. I'm pessimistic, fatalistic, with an attitude.
Matt Bradley - Lead vocals. . (Gardner solo). (Petrucci solo). . In just a moment your life can slip away. Wasting time by wasting chances. When all that's left here is emptiness and hope.
Bret Douglas - Lead vocals. Trent Gardner - Harmonies. . When every word has been written. When every line has been read. When every person cries for justice.
Time ticks, ticks away. Over bright lights and machines we've made. A beautiful face in a bar. Is one raindrop in a million others. . You'll never know of the night sky.
None of your friends can change you. You feel that life just hates you now. And you just want to hide. What makes you think they need you?. What makes you think that you can run?.
Turn, turn away, the first time, I can't say. But heaven knows, I'm fading. Before I go into these old shoes. I kissed away, all my years. . Irreversible, always on my life.
Turn, turn away. The first time, I can't say. But heaven knows, I'm fading. Before I go. Into these old shoes. I kissed away, all my years. . Irreversible, always on my life.
Got a head full of one way rides. That you wouldn't believe. A giant leap from your heart to my arms. Before it's time to leave. . Well, all these old things.
Building castles in the air. In the middle of nowhere. And I'm thinking of you. You caught me staring at the sun. I only tried to get it done. . I wonder if you think of me on rainy days.
Once I was lost inside your eyes. Now I'm lost within myself. I saw the truth in all your lies. But you left me hanging, hanging by a thread. . No more the fool inside.
Don't know why I'm surviving every lonely day. When there's got to me no chance for me. My life would end. And it doesn't matter how I cry. My tears of love are a waste of time.
At first I was afraid I was petrified. Kept thinkin' I could never live without you by my side;. But then I spent so many nights. Feeling sorry for myself. I used to cry.
All I see is misery. Am I the only one, am I the only one?. At times I feel I talk to much. Am I the only one, am I the only one?. I want more than you could ever wish for me.
I wear red shoes every day. Why did you go-go-go and have to say. Didn't like my clothes or the cut of my hair. And if I didn't change, well would you still care?.
I would swallow my pride, I would choke on the rinds. But the lack thereof would leave me empty inside. Swallow my doubt, turn it inside out. Find nothing but faith in nothing.
It feels like time is running backwards. Somehow it don't want to pass by. But I get so nervous and afraid of what is to come. And I just cannot tell you why.
There you sit with glassy eyes. Staring at that oversized. Computer-screen in front of you. The whole day and night long. . Entangled in that world wide web.
Big sun, up in the sky. You burn my skin. And you hurt my eyes. . Big river, closing in upon us. Our lives are swept away. In your floods that rise. .
In a silent world. I had lived without sight or sound. In all that time. . You know I felt that shame. But I put the blame on everyone around. In all that time.
