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 »

Hello, Mirror - so glad to see you my friend, it's been a while 
Searching, Fearless - where do I begin to heal this wound of self-denial 

Face yourself man! 
Brace yourself and trace your hell back 

You've been blinded, living lie a one way cold existence all the while 
Now it's time to stare the problem right between the eyes you long lost child 

I wanna feel your body breaking 
Wanna feel your body breaking and shaking and left in the cold 
I want to heal your conscience making a change to fix this dying soul

This dying soul 
This dying soul

Born into this world a broken home 
Surrounded by love yet all alone 
Forced into a life that's split in two 
A mother and a father both pulling you 

Then you had to deal with loss and death 
Everybody thinking they know best 
Coping with this shit at such an age 
Can only fill a kid with pain and rage 

Family disease pumped through your blood 
Never had the chance you thought you could 
Running all the while with no escape 
Turning all that pain in to blame and hate 

Living on your own by twenty one 
Not a single care and having fun 
Consuming all the life in front of you 
Burning out the fuse and smoking the residue 

Possessive obsessions selfish childish games 
Vengeful resentments 
Passing all the blame 
Living out a life of decadence 
Acing without thought of consequence 
Spreading all your lies from coast to coast 
While spitting on the ones that matter most 

Running power mad with no control 
Fighting for the credit they once stole 
No one can ever tell you what to do 
Ruling other's lives while the can't stand the thought of you 

A living reflection seen from miles away 
A hopeless affliction having run astray 

I wanna feel your body breaking 
Wanna feel your body breaking and shaking and left in the cold 
I want to heal your conscience making a change o fix this dying soul 

Now that you can see all you have done 
It's time to take that step into the kingdom 
All your sins will only make you strong 
And help you break right through the prison wall 

V. Release

Come to me my friend (Listen to me)
I'll help this torture end (Help to set me free) 
Let your ego go (I can't carry this load) 
You can't go through this alone (I feel so hopeless and exposed)
You'll find your peace of mind (Give me some direction)
You can no longer hide (Break out of this isolation)
Let humility (Openness, honesty)
And become what you can be (A healing tranquility)

Help me 
Save me 
Heal me 
I can't break out of this prison all alone 

These tormenting ghosts of yesterday 
Will vanish when exposed 
You can't hold onto your secrets 
They'll only send you back alone 

Your fearless admissions 
Will help expel your destructive obsessions 
With my help I know you can 
Be at one with God and man 

Hear me 
Believe me 
Take me 
I'm ready to break right through this prison wall
