The Test That Stumped Them All

Dream Theater

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 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 for the light 
The smell of stale 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"
