This is a song by David Hammond. It is based on an extrapolation of the Scenes From a Memory story by Dream Theater.
Lying in my bed
Walls shake with echoed screams
Demons in his head
Calls make their way from dreamsWaiting these lonely nights
Is getting us nowhere
Rainclouds and lamp lights
They won't let me go thereCold
Hear the screaming in the night
Frozen, covers clinging tight
Try to dream and pray for the sound to fadeHold
To the memories of you
To the pathways that we drew
I'm fast asleep and yet I am so afraidThe rain keeps on falling
The city streets are calling
But I shut the door inside
Don't want to feel the cold right nowA tragedy for thinking
Metropolis is sinking
I want to heal the pain, but I don't know howLost
In the blankets of my home
Filled with fear and all alone
He shakes and screams in a distant rageCost
May be more than I can deal
There's a danger that I feel
Could his dreams be of a future age?There's a mystery forbidden
In the scenes his mind has hidden
There's a secret locked inside
That he struggles to obtainA tragedy for thinking
Metropolis is sinking
It'll take a miracle to dry up this rain
