Day Two: Isolation — Ayreon

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

Me:

You are 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 you 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 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
