..Dream

Vacant

[Lyrics by James LaBrie]

Hey you, Hey you

I'm right here

Conscience fading

Can't get through

Oh Lord

Helpless

Confused

Head swayed

Eyes glazed

And mine teared

She's losing control

What can I do

Her vacant eyes

Black holes

Am I losing you

Hollow Years

[music by Dream Theater, lyrics by John Petrucci]

He's just the kind of man

You hear about

Who leaves his family

For an easy out

They never saw the signs

He never said a word

He couldn't take another day

...

Carry me to the shoreline

Bury me in the sand

Walk me across the water

And maybe you'll understand

....

Once the stone You're crawling under

Is lifted off your shoulders

Once the cloud that's raining

Over your head disappears

The noise that you'll hear

Is the crashing down of hollow years

...

She's not the kind of girl

You hear about

She'll never want another

She'll never be without

She'll give you all the signs

She'll tell you everything

Then turn around and walk away

...

Once the stoneYou're crawling under
Is lifted off your shoulders
Once the cloud that's raining
Over your head disappears
The noise that you'll hear
Is the crashing down of hollow years
