Ii. Voices Lyrics - Dream Theater

Love, just don't stare' 

He used to say to me 

every Sunday morning 

The spider in the window 

The angel in the pool 

The old man takes the poison 

Now the widow makes the rules 

'So speak, I'm right here' 

She used to say to me 

not a word, not a word 

Judas on the ceiling 

the Devil in my bed 

I guess Easter's never coming 

So I'll just wait inside my head

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

Like a scream but sort of silence 

living off my nightmares 

Voices repeating me 

'Feeling threatened? 

We reflect your hopes and fears.' 

Voices discussing me 

'Others steal your thoughts 

they're not confined 

within your mind.' 

Thought disorder 

Dream control 

Now they read my mind on the radio 

But where was the Garden of Eden? 

I feel elated 

I feel depressed 

Sex is death, Death is sex 

Says it right here on my Crucifix 

Photos 

Like a scream but sort of silence 

living off my nightmares 

Voices protecting me 

'Good behavior 

brings the Savior 

to his knees.' 

Voices rejecting me 

'Others steal your thoughts 

they're not confined 

to your own mind.' 

"I don't wanna be here, 'cause of my 

suffering, 'cause of my illness. 

Only love is worth having, only 

love is what matters, loving every 

people on equal terms. " 

"You've got to know who you're 

dealin' with because, like a stranger, 

a-heh, just might come in through 

here with a gun... and then, what 

would you do? (Heh.)" 

"Everything is immaterial..." 

"'n' you know that reality is immaterial." 

"This is not reality..." 

I'm kneeling on the floor 

staring at the wall 

like the spider in the window 

I wish that I could speak 

Is there fantasy in refuge? 

God in politicians? 

Should I turn on my religion? 

These demons in my head tell me to 

I'm lying here in bed 

Swear my skin is inside out 

Just another Sunday morning 

Seen my diary on the newsstand 

Seems we've lost the truth to quicksand 

It's a shame no one is praying 

'Cause these voices in my head 

keep saying... 

'Love, just don't stare.' 

'Reveal the Word when you're 

supposed to' 

Withdrawn and introverted 

Infectiously perverted 

'Being laughed at and confused 

keeps us pleasantly amused 

enough to stay.' 

Maybe I'm just Cassandra fleeting 

Twentieth century Icon bleeding 

Willing to risk Salvation 

to escape from isolation 

I'm witness to redemption 

heard you speak but never listened 

Can you rid me of my secrets? 

Deliver us from Darkness? 

Voices repeating me 

'Feeling threatened? 

We reflect your hopes and fears.' 

Voices discussing me 

Don't expect your own Messiah 

This neverworld which you desire 

is only in your mind.
