The Glass Prison Lyrics
[I: Reflection 00:00-05:53]
[Instrumental Intro 00:00-03:05]
[Verse 1: James LaBrie, Mike Portnoy]
Cunning, baffling, powerful
(Been beaten to a pulp)
Vigorous, irresistible
(Sick and tired and laid low)
Dominating, invincible
(Black-out, loss of control)
Overwhelming, unquenchable
(I'm powerless, have to let go)
[Verse 2: James LaBrie]
I can't escape it, it leaves me frail and worn
Can no longer take it, senses tattered and torn
Hopeless surrender, obsession's got me beat
Losing the will to live, admitting complete defeat
[Bridge: James LaBrie]
Fatal descent, spinning around
I've gone too far, to turn back round
Desperate attempt, stop the progression
At any length, lift this obsession
[Chorus: James LaBrie]
Crawling to my glass prison, a place where no one knows
My secret lonely world begins!
So much safer here, a place where I can go
To forget about my daily sins
Life here in my glass prison, a place I once called home
Fall in nocturnal bliss again!
Chasing a long lost friend I no longer can control
Just waiting for this hopelessness to end
[Instrumental Outro]
[II: Restoration 05:53-11:06]
[Verse 1: James LaBrie, Mike Portnoy]
Run fast from the wreckage of the past
A shattered glass prison wall behind me
Fight past walking through the ashes
A distant oasis before me
[Verse 2: James LaBrie, Mike Portnoy]
Cry, desperate crawling on my knees
Begging God to please stop the insanity
Help me, I'm trying to believe
Stop wallowing in my self pity
[Pre-Chorus: James LaBrie]
"We've been waiting for you, my friend
The writing's been on the wall
All it takes is a little faith
You know you're the same as us all"
[Chorus: James LaBrie]
Help me, I can't break out this prison all alone
Save me, I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own
Heal me, I can't restore my sanity alone
[Verse 4: James LaBrie, Mike Portnoy]
Enter the door
Desperate
Fighting no more
Help me restore
To my sanity
At this temple of hope
I need to learn
Teach me how
Sorrow to burn
Help me return
To humanity!
I'll be fearless and thorough to enter this temple of hope
[Verse 5: James LaBrie, Mike Portnoy]
Believe
Transcend the pain
Living the life
Humility
Opened my eyes
This new odyssey
Of rigorous honesty!
Serenity
That I never knew!
Soundness of mind
Helped me to find
Courage to change
All the things that I can, ha
[Pre-Chorus: James LaBrie]
"We'll help you perform this miracle
But you must set your past free
You dug the hole, but you can't bury your soul
Open your mind and you'll see"
[Chorus: James LaBrie]
Help me, I can't break out this prison all alone
Save me, I'm drowning and I'm hopeless on my own
Heal me, I can't restore my sanity alone
[Instrumental Break]

[III: Revelation 11:06-13:52]
[Verse: James LaBrie]
Way off in the distance I saw a door
I tried to open
I tried forcing with all of my will but still
The door wouldn't open
Unable to trust in my faith
I turned and walked away
I looked around, felt a chill in the air
Took my will and turned it over
[Outro: James LaBrie]
The glass prison which once held me is gone
A long-lost fortress
Armed only with liberty
And the key of my willingness
Fell down on my knees and prayed
"Thy will be done!"
I turned around, saw a light shining through
The door was wide open!
Sounds of glass shattering
Blind Faith Lyrics
[Verse 1]
Hear me, speaking
Asking why I even bother
Tell me, how you
Live from day to day
[Refrain 1]
Take your time and look around
Is this utopia you've found?
[Verse 2]
Sick of all of this
The suffering and we just carry on
Isn't it time we care and lose the hate?
Understand our fears
[Refrain 2]
But we do all that we can
Justify the means to an end
[Pre-Chorus 1]
Sorry you must excuse me
I've painted my own Mona Lisa
She's fixed everything
Now I'm spoiled beyond my wildest dreams
[Chorus 1]
Blind faith we have in you
Invisible
Which direction do we choose?
Predictable
[Verse 3]
Take the streets, the beaten path
Our system works for whom I ask
Yeah I have it all- The bigger house
An iron fence to keep you out
[Pre-Chorus 2]
When did we all let you down?
So come messiah show us how, how
Our human spirit drowns
Don't think you hear me now
No sign of you around
What is it you hope to see?
[Chorus 2]
Blind faith we have in you
Invisible
Which direction do we choose?
Predictable
Give us something we can use
Desirable
'Cause you've done all you can do
Regrettable
[Bridge]
And still life pushes on
With or without you
We've got to carry on
Our will will guide us to
A place where we belong
Know there lies the truth
I am the believer who gives purpose unto you
[Instrumental Break]
[Pre-Chorus 3]
I don't think we let you down
So come messiah show us how, how
Throw us a pure lifeline
I hope that you hear me
Too proud to be around
There's more to us than we see now
[Chorus 2]
Blind faith we have in you
Invisible
Which direction do we choose?
Predictable
Self-ignorance, abuse
Desirable
'Cause you've done all you can do
Incredible
