A Mind Beside Itself: Voices
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


Like a scream but sort of silent

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's the Garden of Eden?


I feel elated, I feel depressed

The sex is death, death is sex

Says it right here on my crucifix


Like a scream but sort of silent

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


[Incomprehensible]


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


Oh, 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 nobody's 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Withdrawn and introverted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 a 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 never world which you desire

Is only in your mind
