Dream Theater : Wither
Lyrics
1. WITHER (ALBUM VERSION)
Let it out, let it out
Feel the empty space
So insecure
Find the words
And let it out
Staring down, staring down
Nothing comes to mind
Find the place
Turn the water into wine
But I feel I'm getting nowhere
And I'll never see the end
So I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me
Turn it on
Turn it on
Let the feelings flow
Close your eyes
See the ones you used to know
Open up open up
Don't struggle to relate
Lure it out
Help the memory escape
Still this barrenness consumes me
And I feel like giving up
So I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me
I wither
And give myself away
Like reflections on the page
The world's what you create
I drown in hesitation
My words come crashing down
And all my best creations
Burning to the ground
The thought of starting over
Leaves me paralyzed
Tear it out again
Another one that got away
I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me
I wither
And give myself away
Like reflections on the page
The world's what you create
Let it out , let it out

4. THE BEST OF TIME (MIKE PORTNOY VOCAL DEMO)
Remember days of yesterday
How it flew so fast
The two score and a year we had,
I thought it would always last
Those summer days and west coast dreams
I wished would never end
A young boy and his father,
Idol and best friend
I'll always remember
Those were the best of times
A lifetime together
I'll never forget
The morning shows on the radio
The case of the missing dog
Lying on the pillows at the old 812
Watching Harold and Maude
The record shops, the stickball fields
My home away from home
And when we weren't together
The hours on the phone
I'll always remember
Those were the best of times
I'll cherish them forever
The best of times
But then came the call
Our lives changed forever more
"You can pray for a change
But prepare for the end..."
The fleeting winds of time
Flying through each day
All the things I should've done
But time just slipped away
Remember seize the day
Life goes by in the blink of an eye
With so much left to say
These were the best of times
I'll miss these days
Your spirit lit my life each day
Thank you for the inspiration
Thank you for the smiles
All the unconditional love
That carried me for miles
It carried me for miles
But most of all thank you for my life
These were the best of times
I'll miss these days
Your spirit lit my life each day
My heart is bleeding bad
But I'll be OK
Your spirit guides my life each day
Let it out, let it out
Feel the empty space
So insecure
Find the words
And let it out
Staring down, staring down
Nothing comes to mind
Find the place
Turn the water into wine
But I feel I'm getting nowhere
And I'll never see the end
So I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me
Turn it on
Turn it on
Let the feelings flow
Close your eyes
See the ones you used to know
Open up open up
Don't struggle to relate
Lure it out
Help the memory escape
Still this barrenness consumes me
And I feel like giving up
So I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me
I wither
And give myself away
Like reflections on the page
The world's what you create
I drown in hesitation
My words come crashing down
And all my best creations
Burning to the ground
The thought of starting over
Leaves me paralyzed
Tear it out again
Another one that got away
I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I wither
And render myself helpless
I give in
And everything is clear
I breakdown
And let the story guide me
I wither
And give myself away
Like reflections on the page
The world's what you create
Let it out , let it out
