Music by dream theater
Lyrics by mike portnoy

The sleeper:
Shine- lake of fire
Lines take me higher
My mind drips desire
Confined and overtired

Living this charade
Is getting me nowhere
I can't shake this charade
The city's cold blood calls me home
Homeit's what i long for
Back homewhere 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:
I remember the first time she came to me
She poured her soul out 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
Homeit's what i long for
My homewhere she belongs

Her ecstasy- means so much to me
Even decieving 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

Nicholas:
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
I can't keep away from her touch
Leave no doubt, to find out
It's calling me back to my home
