The Looking Glass

Dream Theater

I would not expect you felt unnoticed and ignored
Better to rise above the clouds
Than be a stranger in the crowd

All that you protected doesn’t matter anymore 
Rather be stripped of all your pride 
Than watch your dreams be cast aside 

You are caught up in your gravity 
Glorifying stardom
Singing your own praise

You live without shame 
You’re digging up a gold mine
Standing on the sidelines
Watching through the looking glass

You are not content with being nameless and unknown
Trying to rise above the fray
Eager to give it all away 

Some will not admit their 15 minutes have expired 
Too much attention much too soon 
Don’t see you walking on the moon

You are caught up in your gravity
Bathing in the spotlight
Imitating fame

You live without shame
You’re digging up a gold mine
Standing on the sidelines
Watching through the looking glass

You are caught up in your gravity 
Glorifying madness
Singing your own praise 

You live without shame 
You’re digging up a gold mine
Standing on the sidelines
Watching through the looking glass 

You live without shame 
You’re digging up a gold mine
Standing on the sidelines
Watching through the looking glass
