Ayreon - Day Two: Isolation

Copied!

{Me}
I can't move, I can't feel my body
I don't remember anything
What place is this, how did I get here?
I don't understand, what's happening

Am I alone?

{Fear}
You've been deserted, everyone has left you
You know it's always been that way
Those frantic years, the people you've neglected
Now the time has come to pay

You're alone
No one here is dancing to your tune

{Me}
Is this a dream or is it real?

{Reason}
Sometimes the dream becomes reality

{Me}
But I don't know what to feel

{Reason}
Then I will guide you through this haze

{Me}
But who are you, why are you here?

{Reason}
I am you and you are all of us

{Me}
I can't think, my mind ain't clear

{Reason}
Then I will free you from this maze

{Passion}
Can't you feel it burn
Deep down inside?
Won't you ever learn
Don't try to hide

Can't you feel that fire
Scorching your soul?
A wounded man's desire
Out of control

{Pride}
I can't believe you're giving up
That's not your way
I can't believe you'd pass the chance to make them pay

You've always had complete control
Never thinking twice
You always called the shots, a heart as cold as ice

{Me}
You're all delusions of my mind

{Reason}
And so we are, we're all a part of you

{Me}
Am I a part of some design?

{Reason}
The one design is in your head

{Me}
How can it be, you look so real

{Reason}
We are as real as you imagine us

{Me}
I can touch you, I can feel

{Reason}
Then take my hand and follow me

{Passion}
Can't you feel it burn
Deep down inside?
Won't you ever learn
Don't try to hide

Can't you feel that fire
Scorching your soul?
A wounded man's desire
Out of control

{Pride}
I can't believe you're giving up
That's not your way
I can't believe you'd pass the chance to make them pay

You've always had complete control
Never thinking twice
You always called the shots, a heart as cold as ice

{Love}
Close your eyes, listen to your heart beat
Surrender to its soothing pulse
Silence the cries, gentle and carefree
Good or bad, true or false

You're not alone

You'll find me here whenever they oppose you
I am the strongest of them all
No need to fear these feelings that enclose you
I'm here to catch you when you fall

You're not alone
I am here, dancing to your tune

{Passion}
Can't you feel it burn
Deep down inside?
Won't you ever learn
Don't try to hide

Can't you feel that fire
Scorching your soul?
A wounded man's desire
Out of control

{Pride}
I can't believe you're giving up
That's not your way
I can't believe you'd pass the chance to make them pay

You've always had complete control
Never thinking twice
You always called the shots, a heart as cold as ice
