Dream Theater The Test That Stumped Them All Lyrics

The Test That Stumped Them All Lyrics

Standing in the darkness
Waiting for the light
The smell of pure
adrenaline
Burning in the night

Random blinding flashes
Aiming at
the stage
Intro tape begins to roll
Igniting sonic rage

Still they
keep me between these hollow walls
Hoping to find in me
The answers to the
test that stumped them all

"The boy is just simply crazy
Suffering
from delusions
We honestly think that maybe
He might need an
institution

He lives in a world of fiction
And really could use some
help
We have just the place to fix him
To save him from
himself"

Curled up in the darkness
Searching of the light
The
smell of sweat and shit
Steaming through the night

Random urine
testing
Pills red, pink and blue
Counseling and therapy
Providing not
a clue

Still they keep me between these hollow walls
Hoping to find
in me
The answers to the test that stumped them all

"We can't seem to
find the answers
He seemed such a clear cut case
We cannot just let him
leave here
And put all this work to waste

Why don't we try shock
treatment
It really might do some help
We have just the tools to fix
him
To save him from himself"
