Octavarium Lyrics - Octavarium - Dream Theater

I never wanted to become 

Someone like him 

So secure 

Content to live each day 

Just like the last 

I was sure I knew that 

This was not for me 

And I wanted so much more 

Far beyond what I could see

5 Totally Underrated Christmas Songs 

So I swore that I'd 

Never be someone like him 

So many years have passed 

Since I proclaimed 

My independance 

My mission 

My aim 

And my vision 

So secure 

Content to live each day 

Like it's my last 

It's wonderful to know 

That I could be 

Something more than what I dreamed 

Photos 

Far beyond what I could see 

Still I swear that I'm 

Missing out this time 

As far as I could tell 

Theres nothing more I need 

But still I ask myself 

Could this be everything 

Then all I swore 

That I would never be was now 

So suddenly 

The only thing 

I wanted 

To become 

To be someone just like him 

A Doctor sitting next to me 

He asked me how I feel 

Not sure I understand his questioning 

He says I've been away a while 

But thinks he has cured me 

From a state of catatonic sleep 

For 30 years 

Where have I been 

Eyes open 

But not getting through to me 

Medicate me 

Infiltrate me 

Side effects appear 

As my conscience slips away 

Medicate me 

Science failing 

Conscience fading fast 

Can't you stop what's happening 

A higher dosage he prescribes 

But there's no guarantee 

I feel it starting to take over me 

I tell him not to be ashamed 

There's no one who's to blame 

A second shot 

A brief awakening 

I feel the relapse 

Can't break free 

Eyes open 

But not getting through to me 

Medicate me 

Infiltrate me 

Side effects appear 

As my conscience slips away 

Medicate me 

Science failing 

Conscience fading fast 

Can't you stop what's happening? 

sailing on the seven seize the day tripper diem's ready 

jack the ripper owens wilson phillips and my supper's ready 

lucy in the sky with diamond daves not here I come to save the 

day for nightmare cinema show me the way to get back home 

again 

Spinning round and round 

Scream without a sound 

Stumbling all around 

Find I've come full circle 

flying off the handle with careful with 

that axe eugene gene the dance machine 

messiah light my fire gabba gabba 

hey hey my my generation's home 

again 

Spinning round and round 

Scream without a sound 

Stumbling all around 

Find I've come full circle 

Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath 

Remove all obstacles from our path 

Asking questions 

Search for clues 

The answer's been right in front of you 

We try to break through 

Long to connect 

Fall on deaf ears with failed muted breath 

Loyalty, trust, faith and desire 

Carries love through each darkest fire 

Tortured insanity 

A smothering hell 

Try to escape but to no avail 

The calls of admirers 

Who claim they adore 

Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more 

Innocent victims for merciless crimes 

Fall prey to some madman's for impulsive designs 

Step after step 

We try controlling our fate 

When we finally start living it's become to late 

Trapped inside this Octavarium 

Trapped inside this Octavarium 

Trapped inside this Octavarium 

Trapped inside this Octavarium 

We move in circles 

Balanced all the while 

On a gleaming razor's edge 

A perfect sphere 

Colliding with our fate 

This story ends where it began
