Dream Theater - Space-Dye Vest lyrics

Falling through pages of Martens on angels
Feeling my heart pull west
I saw the future dressed as a stranger
Love in a space-dye vest

Love is an act of blood and I'm bleeding
A pool in the shape of a heart
Beauty projection in the reflection
Always the worst way to start

"But he's the sort who
Can't know anyone intimately
Least of all a woman
He doesn't know what a woman is
He wants you for a possession
Something to look at like a painting
Or an ivory box something
To own and to display he doesn't want
You to be real, or to think
Or to live he doesn't
Love you, but I love you i want you to
Have your own thoughts and
Ideas and feelings
Even when I hold you in my arms it's
Our last chance it's our last chance"

Now that you're gone I'm trying to take it
Learning to swallow the rage
Found a new girl I think we can make it
As long as she stays on the page

This is not how I want it to end
And I'll never be open again

"i was gonna move outummmget, get a
Job, get my own place, ummm buti go
Into the mall where I want to
Work and they tell me, I'm, i was too young"

"Some people gave advice before
About facing the facts, about
Facing reality and this is
This without a doubt
Is his biggest challenge ever
He's going to have to face it
You're going to have to
Try, he's gonna to have to
Try and uh, and, and
And get some help here i mean no one
Can say they know how he feels"

"That, so they say that, in ya
Know like, Houston or something
You'd say it's a
Hundred and eighty degrees but, it's a dry
Heat in Houston they say that? Oh
Maybe not i'm all mixed up dry
Until they hit the swimming pool"

"i get up with the sun listen
You have your own room to
Sleep in I don't care what
You do I don't care
When that door gets locked that door
Gets locked at night by
Nine o'clock if you're not in
This house by nine o'clock
Then you'd better find some place to
Sleep because you're not going
To be a bum in this house supper is ready"

There's no one to take my blame
If they wanted to
There's nothing to keep me sane
And it's all the same to you

There's nowhere to set my aim
So I'm everywhere never come near me again
Do you really think I need you?

I'll never be open again
I could never be open again
I'll never be open again
I could never be open again

And I'll smile and I'll learn to pretend
And I'll never be open again
And I'll have no more dreams to defend
And I'll never be open again
