Ayreon - Day 12: Trauma lyrics
Your rating:
[Reason] Think hard, you're lying here in a hospital bed Disregard the emotions inside your head Concentrate on the real world beyond your mind It's not to late to leave your burdens behind [Fear] We won't let you go Take you down below Dark crypts of your soul Locked inside your head You're better of dead [Agony] Locked away, she lives in isolation It's been that way, since he has gone She's been through life of deprivation She depends on you, her only son [Passion] She won't let you go Keep you down below Dark crypts of your soul Locked inside your head You're better of dead [Agony] Where are you, can't you hear her calling? Nothing you can do, you have no time There's no one there, to catch her now she's falling Why should you care, you're doing fine [Passion] She won't let you go Keep you down below Dark crypts of your soul Locked inside your head You're better of dead [Reason] Now she's at rest, she finally found her peace There's no need to blame yourself You must let go or the pain will never cease It's time to crawl out of your shell Your mother died the day your father left A part of you died as well Feelings of guilt will haunt you 'til the end You must fight hard to break this spell But it hurts [Fear] You hear her voice from beyond her grave "Where were you, son, when I needed you Is this your thanks for all the warmth I gave? Did you forget what I've been through?" Then you hear his voice, cold and merciless "You're worthless fool, you let her die!" And deep within yourself, you must confess Your ways cannot be justified [Pride] By now you realize, you have to be relentless to survive Repress your memories, bury all emotions and thrive It's your life [Reason] Now she's at rest, she found her peace [Fear] You hear her voice from the grave [Reason] You must let go or the pain won't cease [Fear] "Is this your thanks for all I gave?" [Reason] A part of you died as well [Fear] "You worthless fool, you let her die" [Reason] It's time to crawl out of your shell [Fear] Your ways cannot be justified [Pride] By now you realized, you have to be relentless to survive Repress your memories, bury all emotions and thrive It's your life
