3. These Walls (7:36)
[Music: Dream Theater, Lyrics: John Petrucci]
This is so hard for me
To find the words to say
My thoughts are standing still
Captive inside of me
All emotions start to hide
And nothing's getting through
Watch me,
Fading
I'm losing
All my instincts,
falling into darkness
Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I'm holding back
It's not too late for me,
To keep from sinking further
(I'm trying to find my way out,
Tear down these walls for me now)
So much uncertainty
I don't like this feeling
I'm sinking like a stone
Each time I try to speak
There's a voice I'm hearing
And it changes everything
Watch me,
Crawl from
The wreckage
Of my silence
Conversation
Failing
Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I'm holding back
It's not too late for me,
To keep from sinking further
(I'm trying to find my way out,
Take down these walls)
Everytime you choose to turn away
Is it worth the price you pay?
Is there someone who will wait for you
One more time? [x2]
Watch me,
Fading
I'm losing
All my instincts,
Falling into darkness
Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I'm holding back
It's not too late for me,
To keep from sinking further
(I'm trying to find my way out,
Tear down these walls for me now)
Tear down these walls for me
It's not too late for me
Tear down these walls for me
This is so hard for me
To find the words to say
My thoughts are standing still
Captive inside of me
All emotions start to hide
And nothing's getting through
Watch me,
Fading
I'm losing
All my instincts,
falling into darkness
Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I'm holding back
It's not too late for me,
To keep from sinking further
(I'm trying to find my way out,
Tear down these walls for me now)
So much uncertainty
I don't like this feeling
I'm sinking like a stone
Each time I try to speak
There's a voice I'm hearing
And it changes everything
Watch me,
Crawl from
The wreckage
Of my silence
Conversation
Failing
Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I'm holding back
It's not too late for me,
To keep from sinking further
(I'm trying to find my way out,
Take down these walls)
Everytime you choose to turn away
Is it worth the price you pay?
Is there someone who will wait for you
One more time? [x2]
Watch me,
Fading
I'm losing
All my instincts,
Falling into darkness
Tear down these walls for me
Stop me from going under
You are the only one who knows
I'm holding back
It's not too late for me,
To keep from sinking further
(I'm trying to find my way out,
Tear down these walls for me now)
Tear down these walls for me
It's not too late for me
Tear down these walls for me
