Dream Theater

Dream Theater is an American progressive metal band formed in 1985 under the name Majesty by John Petrucci, John Myung, and Mike Portnoy while they attended Berklee College of Music in Massachusetts. They subsequently dropped out of their studies to further concentrate on the band that would ultimately become Dream Theater. Though a number of lineup changes followed, the three original members remained together along with James LaBrie and Jordan Rudess until September 8, 2010 when Portnoy left the band. In October 2010, the band held auditions for a drummer to replace Portnoy. Mike Mangini was announced as the new permanent drummer on April 29, 2011. more »

A thorn in my side 
A chip on my shoulder 
A lump in my throat 
The size of a boulder 
The chill up my spine 
Can't get any colder 
And you wonder why I can't smile 

A knot in my gut 
An ape on my back 
In the heat of the moment 
I'm knocked off the track 
You drop the ball 
I pick up the slack 
And you ask me why my hair's gray 

Twisting, turning 
Losing all sense of yearning 
Living and learning 
The pressure keeps on 
Burning my soul (burning my soul) 
Burning my soul (burning my soul) 
Burning my soul (burning my soul) 

I say it's green 
And then you tell me it's red 
Keep your thoughts and ideas 
Locked inside of your head 
We've got someone 
Who can think for you instead 
And he sounds just like the last one 

Twisting, turning 
Losing all sense of yearning 
Living and learning 
The pressure keeps on 
Burning my soul (burning my soul) 
Burning my soul (burning my soul) 
Burning my soul (burning my soul) 
Burning my soul (burning my soul) 
Burning my soul 
  

Responsible thinkers 
Throw caution to the wind 
But I find myself 
Speaking from within 
I can't live my life 
Walking on eggshells 
To stay on your good side 

Using your words 
Controlling my life 
Can't you see it's my words 
That gives you your life 
So I hurt your feelings 
Well I'm really sorry 
But I don't give a shit, no

Twisting, turning 
Losing all sense of yearning 
Living and learning 
The pressure keeps on 
Burning my soul (burning my soul) [Repeat: x7]
