[Lyric] Strange Déjà Vu (Dream Theater)

[Verse 1: Nicholas]

[Present]
Subconscious strange sensation
Unconscious relaxation
What a pleasant nightmare
And I can't wait to get there again

Every time I close my eyes
There's another vivid surprise
Another whole life waiting
Chapters unfinished, fading

[Past]
Closer now - Slowly coming into view
I've arrived - Blinding sunshine beaming through

[Verse 2: Nicholas]
There's a house I'm drawn to
Familiar settings, nothing new
There's a pathway leading there
With a haunting chill in the air
There's room at the top of the stairs
Every night I'm drawn up there
There's a girl in the mirror
Her face is getting clearer
Young child, won't you tell me why I'm here?

[Pre-Chorus: Nicholas]
In her eyes - I sense a story never told
Behind the disguise - There's something tearing
At her soul

[Chorus: Victoria]
Tonight I've been searching for it
A feeling that's deep inside me
Tonight I've been searching for
The one that nobody knows
Trying to break free!

I just can't help myself
I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head
Tears my heart into two
I'm not the one the sleeper thought he knew

[Bridge: Nicholas]

[Present]
Back on my feet again
Eyes open to real world
Metropolis surrounds me
The mirror's shattered the girl
Why is this other life
Haunting me everyday?
I'd break through the other side
If only I'd find the way

Something's awfully familiar
The feeling's so hard to shake
Could I have lived in that other world
It's a link that I'm destined to make

I'm still searching but I don't know what for
The missing key to unlock my mind's door

[Chorus: Nicholas]
Today I am searching for it
A feeling that won't go away
Today I am searching for
The one that I only know
Trying to break free!

I just can't help myself
I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head
Tears my soul into two
I'm not the one I thought I always knew

I just can't help myself
I'm feeling like I'm going out of my head
Uncanny, strange Deja Vu
But I don't mind - I hope to find the truth
