The Test That Stumped Them All lyrics

Artist  : Dream Theater 
Song : The Test That Stumped Them All
 


Standing in the darkness
Waiting for the
light
The smell of pure adrenaline
Burning
in the night

Random blinding
flashes
Aiming at the stage
Intro tape
begins to roll
Igniting sonic
rage

Still they keep me between these
hollow walls
Hoping to find in me
The
answers to the test that stumped them
all

"The boy is just simply
crazy
Suffering from delusions
We honestly
think that maybe
He might need an
institution

He lives in a world of
fiction
And really could use some help
We
have just the place to fix him
To save him
from himself"

Curled up in the
darkness
Searching of the light
The smell
of sweat and shit
Steaming through the
night

Random urine testing
Pills red,
pink and blue
Counseling and
therapy
Providing not a clue

Still they
keep me between these hollow walls
Hoping to
find in me
The answers to the test that
stumped them all

"We can't seem to find
the answers
He seemed such a clear cut
case
We cannot just let him leave here
And
put all this work to waste

Why don't we
try shock treatment
It really might do some
help
We have just the tools to fix him
To
save him from himself"
