Day Twelve Trauma

Ayreon

Intro | x2 verse 1 Reason Think hard, you are 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 Interlude | x8 verse 2 Agony Locked away, she lives in isolation It's been that way, since he has gone She been through life of depravation 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 Guitar Solo | x4 verse 3 Agony Where are you, can't you hear her calling? Nothing you can do, you have no time There is no one there, to catch her now she's falling Why should you care, you are 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 Break | x4 verse 4 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... Break | x4 Replace 4th time Guitar Solo | x4 Replace 4th time Verse 5 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 been through? " You hear his voice, cold and merciless "You worthless fool, you let her die!" And deep within yourself, you must confess 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! Break | x4 Verse 6 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 Guitar Break Repress your memories, Bury all emotions and thrive! It's your life! Outro Riff
