Dream  Theater  -  The  Mirror  (LP  Version)

Temptation

  Why  won't  you  leave  me  alone?

  Lurking  every  corner,  everywhere  I  go

  

Self-control

  Don't  turn  your  back  on  me  now

  When  I  need  you  the  most

  

Constant  pressure  tests  my  will

  My  will  or  my  won't

  My  self-control  escapes  from  me,  still

  

Hypocrite

  How  could  you  be  so  cruel

  And  expect  my  faith  in  return?

  

Resistance

  Is  not  as  hard  as  it  seems

  When  you  close  the  door

  

I  spent  so  long  trusting  in  you

  I  trust  you  forgot

  Just  when  I  thought  I  believed  in  you

  

What're  you  doing?

  What're  you  doing?

  

It's  time  for  me  to  deal

  Becoming  all  too  real,  living  in  fear

  Why  did  you  lie  and  pretend?

  

This  has  to  come  to  an  end

  I'll  never  trust  you  again

  It's  time  you  made  your  amends

  Look  in  the  mirror  my  friend

  

That  I  haven't  behaved  as  I  should

  Everything  you  need  is  around  you

  The  only  danger  is  inside  you

  

I  thought  you  could  control  life

  But  it's  not  like  that,  there  are

  Things  you  can't  control

  

Let's  stare  the  problem,  right  in  the  eye

  It's  plagued  me  from  coast  to  coast

  Racing  the  clock  to  please  everyone

  All  but  the  one  who  matters  the  most

  

Reflections  of  reality  are  slowly  coming  into  view

  How  in  the  hell  could  you  possibly  forgive  me?

  After  all  the  hell  I  put  you  through

  

It's  time  for  me  to  deal

  Becoming  all  too  real,  living  in  fear

  Why'd  I  betray  my  friend?

  

Lying  until  the  end

  Living  life,  so  pretend

  It's  time  to  make  my  amends

  I'll  never  hurt  you  again
