Ayreon - Day Twelve: Trauma Lyrics
[Reason]</i>Think hard, you are lying here in a hospital bedDisregard the emotions inside your headConcentrate on the real world beyond your mindIt's not to late to leave your burdens behind[Fear]</i> We won't let you goTake you down belowDark crypts of your soulLocked inside your head...You're better of dead[Agony]</i> Locked away, she lives in isolationIt's been that way, since he has goneShe been through life of depravationShe depends on you, her only son[Passion]</i> She won't let you goKeep you down belowDark crypts of your soulLocked inside your headYou're better of dead[Agony]</i> Where are you, can't you hear her calling?Nothing you can do, you have no timeThere is no one there, to catch her now she's fallingWhy should you care, you are doing fine[Passion]</i> She won't let you goKeep you down belowDark crypts of your soulLocked inside your headYou're better of dead[Reason]</i> Now she's at rest, she finally found her peaceThere's no need to blame yourselfYou must let go, or the pain will never ceaseIt's time to crawl out of your shellYour mother died, the day your father leftA part of you died as wellFeelings of guilt will haunt you 'til the endYou must fight hard to break this spellBut it hurts...[Fear]</i> You hear her voice, from beyond her grave"Where were you son, when I needed youIs this your thanks for all the warmth I gaveDid you forget what I been through?"You hear his voice, cold and merciless"You worthless fool, you let her die!"And deep within yourself, you must confessYour ways cannot be justified[Pride]</i> By now you realized, you have to berelentless to surviveRepress your memories,bury all emotions and thrive!It's your life![Reason]</i> Now she's at rest, she found her peace[Fear]</i> You hear her voice, from the grave[Reason]</i> You must let go or the pain won't cease[Fear]</i> "Is this your thanks for all I gave"[Reason]</i> A part of you died as well[Fear]</i> "You worthless fool, you let her die"[Reason]</i> It's time to crawl out of your shell[Fear]</i> Your ways cannot be justified[Pride]</i> By now you realized, you have to berelentless to surviveRepress your memories,bury all emotions and thrive!It's your life!
