Dream Theater - Anna Lee Lyrics

Helpless child
They invite your hands to fill their needs
Will you be the same?

Shameless smile
To steal from you the innocence that bleeds
Will they feel your pain?

Trying to believe
The scars unseen, the tears wash clean
You don't wanna breathe the air you breathe
You don't know how you'll live a life alone

She keeps holding on, holding on to you
Let her breathe the air, don't wanna be alone
Where do you belong Anna Lee?

Behind those eyes
A vivid scene, a lucid dream within
Questioned secrets are revealed

And every time
You can't deny the lines that trace your skin
Wounds that never heal

Trying to believe
The scars unseen, the tears wash clean
You don't wanna breathe the air you breathe
You don't know how you'll live a life alone

She keeps holding on, holding on to you
Let her breathe the air, don't wanna be alone
Where do you belong Anna Lee?

And now she's calling out a name
Can't keep on hiding all her pain
You feel the rain move in as you begin
To turn and answer the call

Trying to believe
The scars unseen, the tears wash clean
You don't wanna breathe the air you breathe
You don't know how you'll live a life alone

She keeps holding on, holding on to you
Let her breathe the air, don't wanna be alone
Where do you belong Anna Lee?
