Lines In The Sand (demo Version) Lyrics - Dream Theater

Sometimes, for a moment of bliss 

And the passion, we're craving 

There's a message we miss 

Sometimes when the spirits left alone 

We must believe in something 

To find if we've grown 

Tragic reflex, shattered calm 

Static progress, senses gone 

Numb awareness, final psalm

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Swept away with the tide 

Through the holes in my hands 

Crown of thorns 

At my side drawing lines in the sand 

Sometimes, if you're perfectly still 

You can hear the virgin weeping 

For the savior of your will 

Sometimes, your castles in the air 

And the fantasies you're seeking 

Are the crosses you bear 

Sacred conflict, blessed prize 

Weeping crosses, stainless eyes 

Desperate addict, faith disguised 

Swept away with the tide 

Through the holes in my hands 

Crown of thorns 

At my side drawing lines in the sand 

Photos 

We fabricate our demons 

Invite them into our homes 

Have supper with the aliens 

And fight the war alone 

We conjure up our skeletons 

Enlist the den of theives 

Frightened from our closets 

Then sewn upon our sleeves 

In the stream of consciousness 

There is a river crying 

Living comes much easier 

Once we admit 

We're dying 

Sometimes, in the wreckage of our wake 

There's a bitterness we harbor 

And hate for hatred's sake 

Sometime we dig an early grave 

And crucify our instincts 

For the hope we couldn't save 

Sometimes a view from sinless eyes 

Centers our perspective 

And pacifies our cries 

Sometimes the anguish we survive 

And the mysteries we nurture 

Are the fabrics of our lives 

Swept away with the tide 

Through the holes in my hands 

Crown of thorns 

At my side drawing lines in the sand
