"Bend The Clock" lyrics - DREAM THEATER

[Verse 1: 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 2: 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]
This circle I can't break
Every night, lie comatose but wide awake
I'm paralyzed again
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]
The witching hour begins
Can't escape, I find myself again
Prisoner in the end
Sinking further than I've ever been

[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

[Outro: James LaBrie]
But I can't get away
Can't find my way
Sinking further every day

[Guitar Solo Outro]
