Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence IV. The Test That Stumped Them All Lyrics

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 just 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 treatments?
It really might do some help
We have just the tools to fix him,
to save him from himself"
