Ayreon - Day Eight: School Lyrics
[Fear]</i> It's time to leave your sheltered cageFace you deepest fearsThe world is against youYou're fighting back the tears[Me]</i> All the kids were watching meI felt very smallI could hear the laughterAs I stumbled down the hall[Rage]</i> (human) Seeking to finddeep in the trauma as it leaves you behind(human) Bleeding it gone into theprofit of the competition(human) Loving today,all of the feelings are they going away(human) Ending it now,I'd rather hear about the where and the how[Agony]</i> The bigger boys they beat you upOut here you cannot hideNo friends to help youNo father at your side[Me]</i> I swore that I'd get back at themBut I was just a kidOne day I'd show themI wouldn't rest until I did[Rage]</i> (human) Seeking to finddeep in the trauma as it leaves you behind(human) Bleeding it gone into theprofit of the competition(human) Loving today,all of the feelings are they going away(human) Ending it now,I'd rather hear about the where and the how[Pride]</i> You've got to prove you are not like the rest[Reason]</i> There's no need if you know you're the best[Pride]</i> That's not enough, let the other kids know[Reason]</i> What's the use, go with the flow[Pride]</i> Be a man, give into hate[Reason]</i> You better learn to communicate[Pride]</i> Better to learn to protect yourself[Reason]</i> That's not the way to get out of this hell[Pride]</i> See that kid, watch the smile on his face[Reason]</i> He's just like you, feeling out of place[Pride]</i> Well I don't care, let's show him who's boss[Reason]</i> That's not the way to get your message across[Pride]</i> Be a man, give into hate[Reason]</i> You better learn to communicate[Pride]</i> Better to learn to protect yourself[Reason]</i> That's not the way to get out of this hell[Passion]</i> Don't rack your brain, let it all goSavour the moment and feel your blood flow[Me]</i> Then I got back at themStill acting like a kidThen I showed themBut when I had I could not quit...[Rage]</i> (human) Seeking to finddeep in the trauma as it leaves you behind(human) Bleeding it gone into theprofit of the competition(human) Loving today,all of the feelings are they going away(human) Ending it now,I'd rather hear about the where and the how
