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 »

Don't
Tell me what's in
Tell me how to write
Don't tell me how to win this
Fight
Isn't your life
It isn't your right
To take the only thing that's
Mine
Proven over time
It's over your head
Don't try to read between
The Lines
Are clearly defined
Never lose sight of something
You believe in

Takin' in the view from the outside
Feelin' like the underdog
Watchin' through the window I'm on the outside
Living like the underdog

I've been trying
To justify you
In the end I will
Just defy you

To those who understand,
I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand
Take me as I am
Not under your command,
I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan
Take me as I am

As I am

Still
Running uphill
Swimming against the current
I wish I weren't so
Fucked
Feels like I'm stuck,
Lost in a sea of mediocrity
Slow down,
You're thinking too much,
Where is your soul
You cannot touch the way
I play,
Or tell me what to say
You're in the way
Of all that I believe in

Takin' in the view from the outside
Feelin' like the underdog
Watchin' through the window I'm on the outside
Living like the underdog

I've been wasting my breath
On you
Open mind will descend
Upon You

To those who understand,
I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand
Take me as I am
Not under your command,
I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan
Take me as I am

To those who understand,
I extend my hand
To the doubtful I demand
Take me as I am
Not under your command,
I know where I stand
I won't change to fit your plan
Take me as I am

As I am

Yeah!

As I am
