Bend the Clock

[Intro: James LaBrie] Worn down, wearing thin Hellish dreams, tormenting scenes Shadows looming I'm paralyzed, can’t move Scared and confused [Chorus: James LaBrie] If I, if I could bend the clock The passageway of time Leave it all behind No more, no more paralyzing dreams The midnight screams always haunting me But I sink deeper each day [Verse: James LaBrie] Cold, hallowed place Dark shadows, vast haunting landscapes In a frantic state Tired of feeling lost, alone and out of place [Pre-Chorus: James LaBrie, James LaBrie & John Petrucci] This circle I can't break Every night, lie comatose but wide awake I'm paralyzed again (Ahhh) Darkness creeping in [Chorus: James LaBrie, James LaBrie, John Petrucci & Mike Portnoy] If I, if I could bend the clock The passageway of time Leave it all behind No more, no more paralyzing dreams The midnight screams always haunting me But I sink further today [Guitar Interlude] [Bridge: James LaBrie, James LaBrie & John Petrucci] The witching hour begins Can’t escape, I find myself again Prisoner in the end Sinking further than I've ever been (Ahhh) [Chorus: James LaBrie, James LaBrie, John Petrucci & Mike Portnoy] And if I, if I could bend the clock The passageway of time A better place I'd find And no more, no more paralyzing dreams The midnight screams break this hold on me But I can't get away Can't find my way Sinking further every day [Guitar Solo Outro]
