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]
