7) The Mirror (06:45)
      - Mike Portnoy
    [Low spoken parts performed by Mike Portnoy]

    Temptation-
    Why won't you leave me alone?
    Lurking Every Corner, everywhere I go

    Self Control-
    Don't turn your back on me now
    When I need you the most

    Constant pressure tests my will
    My will or my won't
    My Self Control escapes from me still...

   "???"                                    [Sample from ???]

    Hypocrite-
    How could you be so cruel
    and expect my faith in return?

    Resistance-
    Is not as hard as it seems
    When you close the door

    I spent so long trusting in you
    I trust you forgot
    Just when I thought I believed in you...

   "What're you doing?                      [Sample is Meryl Streep from the  ]
    What're you doing?"                     [film "Falling In Love".          ]

    It's time for me to deal
    Becoming all too real
    living in fear-
    Why did you lie and pretend?
    This has come to an end
    I'll never trust you again
    It's time you made your amends
    Look in the mirror my friend

   "That I haven't behaved as I should"     [Sample is Jeremy Irons from the  ]
                                            [film "Damage".                   ]
   "Everything you need is around you.      [Sample is Mary Beth Hurt from the]
    The only danger is inside you."         [film "Light Sleeper".            ]
                                           
   "I thought you could control life,       [Sample is Jeremy Irons from the  ]
    but it's not like that. There are       [film "Damage".                   ]
    things you can't control."

    Let's stare the problem right in the eye
    It's plagued me from coast to coast
    Racing the clock to please everyone
    All but the one who matters the most

    Reflections of reality
    are slowly coming into view
    How in the hell could you possibly forgive me?
    After all the hell I put you through

    It's time for me to deal
    Becoming all too real
    living in fear-
    Why'd I betray my friend?
    Lying until the end
    Living life so pretend
    It's time to make my amends
    I'll never hurt you again
