Daybreak
At the bottom of lake
It's a hundred degrees a I can't breath
And I won't get out
'til I figure it out
Thought I'm weak like I can't believe
So you tell me "trust me" I can trust you
Just let me show you
But I gotta work it out in a shadow of doubt
Cause I don't know if I know you
Doing fine, but don't waste me time
Tell me what it is you want to say
You sin, you win, just let me in - hurry
I've been out in the rain all day
So you tell me "trust you" I can trust you
As far as I can throw you
And I'm trying to get out of a shadow of doubt
'cause I don't know if I know you
[Chorus:]
Don't tell me you wanted me
Don't tell me you thought of me
I won't, I swear I won't
(did)
I'll try, I swear I'll try
(lie)
Mother Mary quite contrary
Kiss the boys and make them wary
Things are getting just a little bit scary
It's a wonder I can still breath
Never been much of a doubting thomas
But nothing breaks like a broken promise
You tell me 'bout your two more coming
But once is just enough for me
[Chorus]
I had gotten used to being a soul destroyed
She comes in apparently to fill the void
All dogs need a leash and
At least I'll forget it
And she would never hurt me though she's never said it
But I'm not gonna ask her today
I don't want to scare her away
Oh, Your, town, I'm all alone
And I, just can't, stare at the phone
I want to talk about lifelong mistakes
And you can tell your stepfather I said so
[Chorus]
At the bottom of lake
It's a hundred degrees a I can't breath
And I won't get out
'til I figure it out
Thought I'm weak like I can't believe
So you tell me "trust me" I can trust you
Just let me show you
But I gotta work it out in a shadow of doubt
Cause I don't know if I know you
Doing fine, but don't waste me time
Tell me what it is you want to say
You sin, you win, just let me in - hurry
I've been out in the rain all day
So you tell me "trust you" I can trust you
As far as I can throw you
And I'm trying to get out of a shadow of doubt
'cause I don't know if I know you
[Chorus:]
Don't tell me you wanted me
Don't tell me you thought of me
I won't, I swear I won't
(did)
I'll try, I swear I'll try

Maybe a quick jab at Portnoy?
Actually, this song sounds like it could have been inspired by the same breakup that led to Space-dye Vest. (S-DV is the brokenheartedness KM felt after being dumped, and maybe this is the anger he felt later?)
It could be about feeling betrayed and lied to in a relationship, or by the band. We'll never really know, but I'd put my money on this being his feeling towards the band.
That sounds interesting if it's true
Great by james LaBrie to be able to sing lyrics that others had wrote like if they were his own...Just that's great to be a singer...and he sings really good oon this song and so do on the whole awake album...
I love the video to this song, it's so much attitude in it and in the solo to... (Isn't the video shot in Japan?)
