The Glass Prison Lyrics - Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence - Dream Theater

Cunning, baffling, powerful 

Been beaten to a pulp 

Vigorous, irresistible 

Sick and tired and laid low 

Dominating, invincible 

Black out, loss of control 

Overwhelming, unquenchable 

I'm powerless, have to let go 

I can't escape it, it leaves me frail and worn 

Can no longer take it, senses tattered and torn 

Hopeless surrender, obsession's got me beat 

Losing the will to live, admitting complete defeat 

Fatal descent, spinning around 

I've gone too far, to turn back round 

Desperate attempt, stop the progression 

At any length, lift this obsession

Crawling to my glass prison 

A place where no one knows 

My secret lonely world begins 

So much safer here 

A place where I can go 

To forget about my daily sins 

Life here in my glass prison 

A place I once called home 

Fall in nocturnal bliss again 

Chasing a long lost friend 

I no longer can control 

Just waiting for this hopelessness to end 

Run fast from the wreckage of the past 

A shattered glass prison wall behind me 

Fight past walking through the ashes 

A distant Oasis before me 

Photos 

Cry, desperate crawling on my knees 

Begging God to please stop the insanity 

Help me, I'm trying to believe 

Stop wallowing in my own self pity 

"We've been waiting for you my friend 

The writing's been on the wall 

All it takes is a little faith 

You know you're the same as us all" 

Help me, I can't break out this prison all alone 

Save me, I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own 

Heal me, I can't restore my sanity alone 

Enter the door 

Desperate 

Fighting no more 

Help me restore 

To my sanity 

At this temple of hope 

I need to learn 

Teach me how? 

Sorrow to burn 

Help me return 

To humanity 

I'll be fearless and thorough 

To enter this temple of hope 

Believe 

Transcend the pain 

Living the life 

Humility 

Opened my eyes 

This new odyssey 

Of rigorous honesty 

Serenity 

That I never knew 

Soundness of mind 

Helped me to find 

Courage to change 

All the things that I can 

"We'll help you perform this miracle 

But you must set your past free 

You dug the hole, but you can't bury your soul 

Open your mind and you'll see" 

Help me, I can't break out this prison all alone 

Save me, I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own 

Heal me, I can't restore my sanity alone 

Way off in the distance I saw a door 

I tried to open 

I tried forcing with all of my will but still 

The door wouldn't open 

Unable to trust in my faith 

I turned and walked away 

I looked around, felt a chill in the air 

Took my will and turned it over 

The glass prison which once held me is gone 

A long lost fortress 

Armed only with liberty 

And the key of my willingness 

Fell down on my knees and prayed 

"Thy will be done" 

I turned around, saw a light shining through 

The door was wide open
