Dream Theater - Six Degrees of Inner Turbulence: The Test That Stumped Them All lyrics

Standing in the darkness
Waiting for the light
The smell of pure adrenaline
Burning in the night
Random blinding flashes aiming at the stage

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 streaming 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!"
