Dream Theater - Scene Two: II. Strange Deja Vu lyrics

Subconscious strange sensation Unconscious relaxation What a pleasant nightmare And I can't wait to get there again Every time I close my eyes There's another vivid surprise Another whole life waiting Chapters unfinished, fading Closer now Slowly comin' into view I've arrived Blinding sunshine beamin' through There's a house I'm drawn to Familiar settings nothing new And there's a pathway leading there With a hauntin' chill in the air There's a room at the top of the stairs Every night I'm drawn up there And there's a girl in the mirror Her face is gettin' clearer Young child, won't you tell me Why I'm here? In her eyes I sense a story never told Behind the disguise There's something tearing at her soul Tonight I've been searching for it A feeling that's deep inside me Tonight I've been searching for The one that nobody knows Trying to break free I just can't help myself I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head Tears my heart into two I'm not the one the sleeper thought he knew Back on my feet again Eyes open to the real world Metropolis surrounds me The mirror's shattered the girl Why is this other life Haunting me every day? I'd break through to the other side If only I'd find the way Is something's awfully familiar? The feeling's so hard to shake Could I have lived in that other world? It's a link that I'm destined to make Still searchin' but I don't know what for The missing key to unlock my mind's door Today I am searching for it A feeling that won't go away Today I am searching for The the one that I only know Trying to break free I just can't help myself I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head Tears my soul into two I'm not the one I thought I've always knew I just can't help myself I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head Uncanny, strange deja vu But I don't mind, I hope to find the truth
