[Instrumental Intro 00:00-01:01]
[Verse 1: James LaBrie & Mike Portnoy]
Tunnel vision at blinding speed
Controlling my thoughts, obsessing me
Void of any uncertainty
Throughout my very soul
Lost illusions of mind control
Resisting all hope of letting go
Racing impulse of dark desire
Drives me through the night
[Verse 2: James LaBrie, James LaBrie & Mike Portnoy]
I try to shut it down
It leaves me in the dust
No matter what I've found
I can never get enough
Frantic actions of insanity
Impulsive laced profanity
Long for elusive serenity
Way out of my control
[Chorus: James LaBrie, Mike Portnoy, Both]
Traveling through both space and time
Out of body, out of mind
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
I can't let up, I can't let go
Can't stop this flame from burning
Forever more into the night, blistering
[Verse 3: James LaBrie, Mike Portnoy, Both]
Focus here, focus there
Cannot see the light
Falling down through the night
Sprawling everywhere
Searching left, searching right
Panic setting in, I can no longer fight
When will this end?
Accelerate, dislocate
Set to crash and burn
Haven't got time to waste
Not planning to return
Aggravate, agitate
When will I ever learn?
There's no way out of here
Nowhere to turn
[Bridge: James LaBrie, Mike Portnoy]
Obsessive yearning
Compulsive burning
Still never learning
Insane random thoughts of neat disorder
[Verse 4: James LaBrie & Mike Portnoy]
Scattered wasteland surrounding me
Tattered memories of what used to be
Apocalyptic mind debris
Until we meet again
[Chorus: James LaBrie, Mike Portnoy, Both]
Traveling through both space and time
Out of body, out of mind
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
I can't let up, I can't let go
Can't stop this flame from burning
Forever more into the night, blistering
[Instrumental Break/Guitar & Keyboard Solos 03:41-05:55]
[Chorus: James LaBrie, Mike Portnoy, Both]
Traveling through both space and time
Out of body, out of mind
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
I can't let up, I can't let go
Can't stop this flame from burning
Can't stop the wheels from turning
[Outro: James LaBrie, Mike Portnoy, Both]
Traveling through both space and time
You get yours and I got mine
Out of control
My wheels in constant motion
Spinning round and round it goes
I can't let up, I can't let go
Can't stop this flame from burning
Forever more into the night, blistering
