I. Someone Like Him ( 0:00-8.44) Lyrics by John Petrucci
I never wanted to become
Someone like him
So secure
Content to live each day
Just like the last
I was sure I knew that
This was not for me
And I wanted so much more
Far beyond what I could see
So I swore that I´d
Never be someone like him
So many years have passed
Since I proclaimed
My independance
My mission
My aim
And my vision
So secure
Content to live each day
Like it´s my last
It´s wonderful to know
That I could be
Something more than what I dreamed
Far beyond what I could see
Still I swear that I´m
Missing out this time
As far as I could tell
Theres nothing more I need
But still I ask myself
Could this be everything
Then all I swore
That I would never be was now
So suddenly
The only thing
I wanted
To become
To be someone just like him
II. Medicate ( Awakening) ( 8:45-12:15) Lyrics by James LaBrie
A Doctor sitting next to me
He asked me how I feel
Not sure I understand his questioning
He says I´ve been away a while
But thinks he has cured me
From a state of catatonic sleep
For 30 years
Where have I been
Eyes open
But not getting through to me
Medicate me
Infiltrate me
Side effects appear
As my conscience slips away
Medicate me
Science failing
Conscience fading fast
Can´t you stop what´s happening
A higher dosage he prescribes
But there´s no guarantee
I feel it starting to take over me
I tell him not to be ashamed
There´s no one who´s to blame
A second shot
A brief awakening
I feel the relapse
Can´t break free
Eyes open
But not getting through to me
Medicate me
Infiltrate me
Side effects appear
As my conscience slips away
Medicate me
Science failing
Conscience fading fast
Can´t you stop what´s happening?
III. Full Circle ( 12:15-18:27) Lyrics by Mike Portnoy
[Isn´t this is where we came in] [from Pink Flpyd - The Wall]
sailing on the seven seize the day tripper diem´s ready
jack the ripper owens wilson phillips and my supper´s ready
lucy in the sky with diamond daves not here I come to save the
day for nightmare cinema show me the way to get back home
again
[Running forward
Falling back]
Spinning round and round
[Looking outward
Reaching in]
Scream without a sound
[Leaning over
Crawling up]
Stumbling all around
[Losing my place
Only to]
Find I´ve come full circle
flying off the handle with careful with
that axe eugene gene the dance machine
messiah light my fire gabba gabba
hey hey my my generation´s home
again
[Running forward
Falling back]
Spinning round and round
[Looking outward
Reaching in]
Scream without a sound
[Leaning over
Crawling up]
Stumbling all around
[Losing my place
Only to]
Find I´ve come full circle
IV. Intervals ( 18:28-19:56) Lyrics by Mike Portnoy
[Root]
Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath
Remove all obstacles from our path
[Second]
Asking questions
Search for clues
The answer´s been right in front of you
[Third]
We try to break through
Long to connect
Fall on deaf ears with failed muted breath
[Fourth]
Loyalty, trust, faith and desire
Carries love through each darkest fire
[Fifth]
Tortured insanity
A smothering hell
Try to escape but to no avail
[Sixth]
The calls of admirers
Who claim they adore
Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more
[Seventh]
Innocent victims for merciless crimes
Fall prey to some madman´s for impulsive designs
[Octave]
Step after step
We try controlling our fate
When we finally start living it´s become to late
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
Trapped inside this Octavarium
V. Razor´s Edge ( 19:56-24:00) Lyrics by John Petrucci
We move in circles
Balanced all the while
On a gleaming razor´s edge
A perfect sphere
Colliding with our fate
This story ends where it began...
