Light Fuse And Get Away - Dream Theater

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

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
