Dream Theater

The Sleeper
(Past)
Shine - lake of fire
Lines take me higher
My mind drips desire
Confined and overtired

Living this charade
Is getting me nowhere
Can t shake this charade
The city s cold blood calls me home
Home... it s what I long for
Back home... where I belong

The city - it calls to me
Decadent scenes from my memory
Sorrow - eternity
My demons are coming to drown me

Help - I m falling, I m crawling
I can t keep away from its clutch
Can t have it, this habit
It s calling me back to my home

The Miracle
(Past)
I remember the first time she came to me
She poured out her soul all night and cried
I remember I was told there s a new love that s born
For each one that has died

I never thought that I
Could carry on with this life
But I can t resist myself
No matter how hard I try

Living their other life
Is getting them nowhere
I ll make her my wife
Her sweet temptation calls me home
Home... it s what I long for
My home... where she belongs

Her ecstasy - means so much to me
Even deceiving my own blood
Victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles
She s taking me to my home

Help - he s my brother, but I love her
I can t keep away from her touch
Deception, dishonor
It s calling me back to my home

(A craps stickman is heard calling out
various bets during the gambling and sex sequence.)
Nicholas
(Past)
Her story - it holds the key
Unlocking dreams from my memory
Solving this mystery
Is everything that is a part of me

Help - regression, obsession
Can t keep away from its clutch
Leave no doubt, to find out
It s calling me back to my home
