NOTE: These lyrics are only about 95% done. When the song starts to
get really heavy, it's difficult to make out the lyrics at times.
Hopefully, someone can step up and fill in the blanks at the end of
the song. Also, the "Sailing on the seven seas, the day tripper
(???)" part lists a lot of bands or musical influences of whichever
member penned this song (I'm thinking Portnoy), some of which I'm
unfamiliar with, so it made it hard for me to pick it out.

I never wanted to become someone like him
So secure; content to live each day just like the last
I was sure I knew that this was not for me
And I wanted so much more
Far beyond what I could see
So I swore that I'd never be someone like him
So many years have passed since I proclaimed my independence
My mission, my aim, and my vision, so secure
Content to live each day like it's my last
It's wonderful to know that I could be
Something more than what I dreamed
Far beyond what I could see
Still I swear that I'm
Missing out this time
As far as I could tell
There's nothing more I need
But still I ask myself
Could this be everything
That all I swore that I would never be
What now, so suddenly, the only thing I wanted
To become
To be someone just like him
A doctor sitting next to me
He asks me how I feel
I'm not sure I understand his questioning
He says I've been away a while
He thinks he has cured me
From a state of catatonic sleep
For thirty years, where have i been
Eyes open but not getting through to me
Medicate me
Infiltrate me
Side effects appear as my conscience slips away
Medicate me
Science failing
Conscience fading fast
Can't you stop what's happening
A higher dosage he prescribes, but there's no guarantee
I feel it's starting to take over me
Tell him not to be ashamed
There's no one who's to blame
A second shot of reawakening
I feel the relapse can't break free
Eyes open but not getting through to me
Medicate me
Infiltrate me
Side effects appear as my conscience slips away
Medicate me
Science failing
Conscience fading fast
Can't you stop what's happening
Sailing on the seven seas, the day tripper (???)
Jack the ripper, (???) Wilson, Phillips and my (???)
Lucy in the sky with diamonds, days not here (???)
(???) Nightmare cinema showed me the way to get back home again
(Lunging forward, falling back)
Spinning round and round
(Looking now, picture it)?
Scream without a sound
(Lunging forward, crawling up)
Stumbling all around
(Losing my face only to)
Find I've come full circle
Flying off the handle, looking forward
???? dance machine
Messiah, light my fire, gabba gabba hey
My generation so my...?
(Lunging forward, falling back)
Spinning round and round
(Looking now, picture it)?
Scream without a sound
(Lunging forward, crawling up)
Stumbling all around
(Losing my face only to)
Find I've come full circle
(FIRST)
Our deadly sins fill this mortal realm
Remove all obstacles from our path
(SECOND)
Asking questions, search for truth
The answer's been right in front of you
(THIRD)
Try to break through, long to connect
Fall on deaf ears with fail, muted breath
(FOURTH)
Loyalty, trust, faith in messiah
Carries above through each darkest fire
(FIFTH)
Tortured insanity, smoking hell
Try to escape to no avail
(SIXTH)
Closet admirers, claim they adore
Drain all the lifeblood, begging for more
(SEVENTH)
??? and phantoms, unmerciless crimes
??? madness, ??? design
(EIGHTH)
??? ????
