I. SOMEONE LIKE HIM
3
Lyrics: John Petrucci
4
I never wanted to become someone like him so secure
5
Content to live each day just like the last
6
I was sure I knew that
7
This was not for me
8
And I wanted so much more
9
Far beyond what I could see
10
So I swore that I'd
11
Never be someone like him
12
So many years have passed
13
Since I proclaimed
14
My independence
15
My mission
16
My aim
17
And my vision
18
So secure
19
Content to live each day like it's my last
20
It's wonderful to know
21
That I could be
22
Something more than I dreamed
23
Far beyond what I could see
24
Still I swear that I'm
25
Missing out this time
26
As far as I could tell
27
There's nothing more I need
28
But still I ask myself
29
Could this be everything
30
Then all I swore
31
That I would never be was now
32
So suddenly
33
The only thing
34
I wanted
35
To become
36
To be someone just like him
37
II. MEDICATE (Awakening)
38
Lyrics: James LaBrie
39
A Doctor sitting next to me
40
He asks me how I feel
41
Not sure I understand his questioning
42
He says I've been away a while
43
But thinks he has cured me
44
From a state of catatonic sleep
45
For 30 years
46
Where have I been
47
Eyes open
48
But not getting through to me
49
Medicate me
50
Infiltrate me
51
Side effects appear
52
As my conscience slips away
53
Medicate me
54
Science failing
55
Conscience fading fast
56
Can't you stop what's happening
57
A higher dosage he prescribes
58
But there's no guarantee
59
I feel it starting to take over me
60
I tell him not to be ashamed
61
There's no one who's to blame
62
A second shot
63
A brief awakening
64
I feel the relapse
65
Can't break free
66
Eyes open
67
But not getting through to me
68
III. FULL CIRCLE
69
Lyrics: Mike Portnoy
70
sailing on the seven seize the day tripper diem's ready
71
jack the ripper owens wilson phillips and my supper's ready
72
lucy in the sky with diamond dave's not here I come to save the
73
day for nightmare cinema show me the way to get back home again
74
Running forward
75
Falling back
76
Spinning round and round
77
Looking outward
78
Reaching in
79
Scream without a sound
80
Leaning over
81
Crawling up
82
Stumbling all around
83
Losing my place
84
Only to find I've come full circle
85
flying off the handle with careful with
86
that axe eugene gene the dance machine
87
messiah light my fire gabba gabba
88
hey hey my my generation's home again
89
Running forward
90
Falling back
91
Spinning round and round
92
Looking outward
93
Reaching in
94
Scream without a sound
95
Leaning over
96
Crawling up
97
Stumbling all around
98
Losing my place
99
Only to find I've come full circle

IV. INTERVALS
101
Lyrics: Mike Portnoy
102
Our deadly sins feel his mortal wrath
103
Remove all obstacles from our path
104
Asking questions
105
Search for clues
106
The answer's been right in front of you
107
Try to break through
108
Long to connect
109
Fall on deaf ears and fails muted breath
110
Loyalty, trust, faith and desire
111
Carries love through each darkest fire
112
Tortured Insanity
113
A smothering hell
114
Try to escape but no avail
115
The calls of admirers
116
Who claim they adore
117
Drain all your lifeblood while begging for more
118
Innocent victims of merciless crimes
119
Fall prey to some madmen's impulsive designs
120
Step after step
121
We try controlling our fate
122
When we finally start living it has become too late
123
Trapped inside this Octavarium
124
Trapped inside this Octavarium
125
Trapped inside this Octavarium
126
Trapped inside this Octavarium
127
V. RAZOR'S EDGE
128
Lyrics: John Petrucci
129
We move in circles
130
Balanced all the while
131
On a gleaming razor's edge
132
A perfect sphere
133
Colliding with our fate
134
This story ends where it began
