Light Fuse And Get Away

(Music by Dream Theater, Lyrics by Moore)(7:23)
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
