Dream Theater - The Ones Who Help To Set The Sun

Watching my window, I was led like a childAs the roadway lamplights misguided my mind through the nightA shadow of limits we were racing the rainMy hands held the wheel, my eyes tried to hold their place

There must have been a time when I thought that you were watchingIt had to be when my senses lost controlI thought I'd slipped away, I thought I could still feel us movingIt must have been a cloud no bigger than a man's hand

Every reason I risk my life to come back to youIs locked behind your door, you're my immunityOutside I watched you burn, heavy hearts were bleedingA cry for help, a familiar voice, my melting hands streaked the glass

As I walked away, I wondered what had really happenedHad I run out of time? Did I push myself too far?As my last step fell, I felt my hands upon the wheelHad I come back to life or did I ever leave at all?

In higher lives we seem to be always a moment too lateWe're past the time when we looked onNow, we're the ones who help to set the sun
This time for real, I locked the door behind me
My mind was still a wreck from what I sawFor when my hands are still, I'll recognize the messageNever again will my senses lose control
In higher lives we seem to be always a moment too late
We're past the time when we looked onNow, we're the ones who help to set the sun
