Light Fuse And Get Away (When Dream and Day Unite - 1989)
[music by Dream Theater, lyrics by Moore]
Would you like to sit and talk to me about the way things change so suddenly when your senses come and the feeling goes? can you remember feeling much too close?
Stop your hands from shaking. Look at me. Are your senses racing endlessly tracing past impressions? So were mine. Have you ever been used or will this be the first time?
It's come so clear to me Light fuse and get away No gain, no pain It's a fatal game and the true lose everything
I can see what trust and loyalty have done for me falling miles from the mark with a thirst for revenge and a dangerous heart
I've tried to wash from memory feelings of betrayal and the incidents that plague me since I lost my sense of innocence
A history of changes now I'm loving now I'm losing keeps me constantly in fear of hearing "I can't see where this is going"
You lie alone with the memory feeling the ceiling and walls closing in on Your Conscience - my ally the guilt - your affliction from preying on praise as you fed an attention addiction
Someone told me Light fuse and get away No gain, no pain and when it's lust to dust you can crawl from the wreckage
I can see what trust and loyalty have done for me lying bleeding in the dark with a thirst for revenge and a dangerous heart
It's come so clear to me Light fuse and get away No gain, no pain It's a fatal game and the true lose everything
I can see what trust and loyalty have done for me falling miles from the mark with a thirst for revenge and a dangerous heart
