Artist/Band: Dream Theater
Lyrics for Song: The Glass Prison
Lyrics for Album: Six Degrees Of Inner Turbulence [2002]



I Reflection



Cunning, baffling, powerful

Been beaten to a pulp

Vigorous, irresistable

Sick and tired and laid low

Dominating, invincible

Black-out, loss of control

Overwhelming, unquenchable

I'm powerless, have to let go



I can't escape it

It leaves me frail and worn

Can no longer take it

Senses tattered and torn



Hopeless surrender

Obsession's got me beat

Losing the will to live

Admitting complete defeat



Fatal descent

Spinning around

I've gone too far

To turn back round



Desperate attempt

Stop the progression

At any length

Lift this obsession



Crawling to my glass prison

A place where no one knows

My secret lonely world begins



So much safer here

A place where I can go

To forget about my daily sins



Life here in my glass prison

A place I once called home

Fall in nocturnal bliss again



Chasing a long lost friend

I no longer can control

Just waiting for this hopelessness to end



II Restoration



(Run) fast from the wreckage of the past

A shattered glass prison wall behind me

(Fight) past walking through the ashes

A distant oasis before me



(Cry) desperate crawling on my knees

Begging God to please stop the insanity

(Help me) I'm trying to believe

Stop wallowing in my own self pity



We've been waiting for you my friend

The writing's been on the wall

All it takes is a little faith

You know you're the same as us all



Help me

I can't break out this prison all alone

Save me

I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own

Heal me

I can't restore my sanity alone



(Enter the door)

Desperate

(Fighting no more)

Help me restore

(To my sanity)

At this temple of hope



(I need to learn)

Teach me how

(Sorrow to burn)

Help me return

(To humanity)

I'll be fearless and thorough

Then enter this temple of hope



Believe

(Transcend the pain)

Living the live

(Humility)

Opened my eyes

(This new odyssey)

Of rigorous honesty



(Serenity)

I never knew

(Soundness of mind)

Helped me to find

(Courage the change

All the things that I can)



We'll help you perform this miracle

But you must set your past free

You dug the hole, but you can't bury your soul

Open your mind and you will see



Help me

I can't break out this prison all alone

Save me

I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own

Heal me

I can't restore my sanity alone



III Revelation



Way off in the distance I saw the door

I tried to open

I tried forcing with all of my will and still

The door wouldn't open



Unable to trust in my faith

I turned and walked away

I looked around, felt a chill in the air

Took my will and turned it over



The glass prison which once held me is now gone

A long lost fortress

Armed only with liberty

And the key of my willingness



Fell down on my knees and prayed

Thy will be done

I turned around, saw a light shining through

The door was wide open
