Periphery, John Petrucci - Erised lyrics

There's a vessel and it's sinking at sea
An apparition that's beckoning me
As the cold, dark night brings on the sweat
I slowly drift away

Stuck down at the bottom of the
Orange cylindrical state of mind
What are we running from?
There's a distant sound of a melody
Release me from this plane

A life to live a sedative under the skin
Bury it, carry the cure
Just let emotion set devotion
Within your heart to collect the debt we sow

Step out from the moonlight like
It's a game we play
The checkerboard is tainted
Drops of red will lead the way
Black are their lies gold are
The tongues of the glorified
Command disease of the body and mind

Stuck down at the bottom of the
Orange cylindrical state of mind
What are we running from?
There's a distant sound of a melody
Release me from this plane

A life to live a sedative under the skin
Bury it, carry the cure
Just let emotion set devotion
Within your heart to collect the debt we sow
A life to live a sedative
A life to live a sedative under the skin
Just let emotion set devotion
Within your heart to collect the debt we sow

Collecting sanity simply ready for the life
That await's your lead
There's a distant sound of a melody
And I won't leave this place
