  4th Degree - The Test That Stumped Them All [05:00]
  music by Myung, Petrucci, Portnoy, Rudess
  lyrics by Mike Portnoy

  Standing in the darkness
  Waiting for the light
  The smell of pure adrenaline
  Burning in the night

  Random blinding flashes
  Aiming at the stage
  Intro tape begins to roll
  Igniting sonic rage

  Still they keep me between these hollow walls
  Hoping to find in me
  The answers to the test that stumped them all

  "The boy is simply crazy
  Suffering from delusions
  We honestly think that maybe
  He might need an institution

  He lives in a world of fiction
  And really could use some help
  We have just the place to fix him
  To save him from himself"

  Curled up in the darkness
  Searching for the light
  The smell of stale sweat and shit
  Steaming through the night

  Random urine testing
  Pills red, pink and blue
  Counseling and therapy
  Providing not a clue

  Still they keep me between these hollow walls
  Hoping to find in me
  The answers to the test that stumped them all

  "We can't seem to find the answers
  He seemed such a clear cut case
  We cannot just let him leave here
  And put all this work to waste

  Why don't we try shock treatment
  It really might do some help
  We have just the tools to fix him
  To save him from himself"
