Dream Theater Lines In The Sun Lyrics

Lines In The Sun Lyrics

Sometimes, for a moment of bliss
And the passion, we're craving
There's a
message we miss
Sometimes when the spirits left alone
We must believe in
something
To find if we've grown

Tragic reflex, shattered
calm
Static progress, senses gone
Numb awareness, final
psalm

Swept away with the tide
Through the holes in my hands
Crown
of thorns
At my side drawing lines in the sand

Sometimes, if you're
perfectly still
You can hear the virgin weeping
For the savior of your
will
Sometimes, your castles in the air
And the fantasies you're
seeking

Are the crosses you bear

Sacred conflict, blessed
prize
Weeping crosses, stainless eyes
Desperate addict, faith
disguised

Swept away with the tide
Through the holes in my
hands
Crown of thorns
At my side drawing lines in the sand

We
fabricate our demons
Invite them into our homes
Have supper with the
aliens
And fight the war alone
We conjure up our skeletons
Enlist the
den of theives
Frightened from our closets
Then sewn upon our
sleeves

In the stream of consciousness
There is a river
crying
Living comes much easier

Once we admit
We're
dying

Sometimes, in the wreckage of our wake
There's a bitterness we
harbor
And hate for hatred's sake
Sometime we dig an early grave
And
crucify our instincts
For the hope we couldn't save

Sometimes a view
from sinless eyes
Centers our perspective
And pacifies our
cries
Sometimes the anguish we survive
And the mysteries we
nurture
Are the fabrics of our lives

Swept away with the
tide
Through the holes in my hands
Crown of thorns
At my side drawing
lines in the sand
