home

• dream theater - home.
  
  shine- lake of fire
  lines take me higher
  my mind drips desire
  confined and overtired
  
  living this charade
  is getting me nowhere
  i can't shake this charade
  the city's cold blood calls me home...
  home... it's what i long for
  back home... where i belong
  
  the city- it calls to me
  decadent scenes from my memory
  sorrow- eternity
  my demons are coming to drown me
  
  help- i'm falling, i'm crawling
  i can't keep away from its clutch
  can't have it, this habit
  it's calling me back to my home
  
  [the miracle:]
  i remember the first time she came to me
  she poured out her soul all night and cried...
  
  i remember i was told there's a new love that's born
  for each one that has died...
  
  i never thought that i
  could carry on with this life
  but i can't resist myself
  no matter how hard i try
  
  living their other life
  is getting them nowhere
  i'll make her my wife
  her sweet temptation calls me home...
  home... it's what i long for
  my home... where she belongs
  
  her ecstasy- means so much to me
  even decieving my own blood
  victoria watches and thoughtfully smiles
  she's taking me to my home
  
  help- he's my brother, but i love her
  i can't keep away from her touch
  deception, dishonor
  it's calling me back to my home
  
  "...four, four, who wants the hard [a craps "stickman" is heard ]
  four?... who wants the hard four?... [calling out various bets during ]
  ...shooter had one, four... [the gambling and sex sequence. ]
  ...one, four... one and make it the
  hard way... ...got the shooter... ...coming out for a new player...
  take your best shot, gambler... ...who wants to come?
  better hop in... place your bets... who wants to come?"
  
  [present]
  [nicholas:]
  her story- it holds the key
  unlocking dreams from my memory
  solving this mystery
  is everything that is a part of me
  
  help- regression, obsession
  i can't keep away from it's clutch
  leave no doubt, to find out
  it's calling me back to my home
