Phase II: Symmetry

guitar chords lyrics

Ayreon

I know it's hard to find the words But tell me all about your world Do you struggle to adapt? Do you feel detached? It seems I'm always out of place Like some alien machine I never know how I should be Or what to feel, or what is real Can you help us reach our son? Can we put our faith in you? Can you help him overcome? There is brilliance shining through Do you see it too? Let's talk about your dreams Can you tell me what you see? Can you describe the way you feel? Do you feel anything at all… I see things that don't belong In this four-dimensional world There is so much more beyond More to unveil, more to reveal Can you help us reach our son? Can we put our faith in you? Can you help him overcome There is magic shining through Can you help us reach our son? I, I need a future I can build Can you tell us what to do? Give me a role that I can fulfil Can we help him rise above? I know I've got something to give A reason to live! Yes, I'm afraid I see signs of impairment But there is something more He's an exceptional savant, one in a million His mind is ablaze with distraction But maybe I can help I'm testing a new drug that can help him focus Please tell us more, that sounds intriguing Can he join your clinical trial? If he could concentrate he could help me He might even be of some use! Center the mind, cut straight to the core Brighten the flame, break open the cage Shatter the wall, shut down the noise Soften the pain, sharpen the brain I have to confess it's experimental I'm still running through the tests The side effects could include extreme delusions No! Not on my life, I'll never allow it! No matter what we could win I won't let you endanger my child I refuse to play dice with his life How could you even contemplate Experimenting on our child? Were you only thinking of yourself again? No! Why shouldn't I want to help him You make it sound like it's a crime I'm not giving up, this isn't over! So... what if they are right And he's so remarkable How does that affect me? Ever since I was a child It all came so easy I never had to try If he's as brilliant as they say How will I be noticed Now I'm not so special… anymore I'm not sure why I'm afraid No, he won't beat me Not without a fight, no! One day I'll show them I am the genius One day the whole world will know One day I'll show them who he really is One day they'll know Let's find him a future to build He'll give me a role to fulfil I know he's got something to give We all need a reason to live A future to build A role to fulfil Something to give A reason to live Where am I going? How did this happen? My life has unfolded Depressingly average But if I support him Help him reach his potential He'll be my contribution I can still make my mark My name will live on His shyness is charming I wish I could reach him He's strangely disarming I hope I can free him I know I can help him He needs someone like me To reach his potential To learn how to feel He'll be my contribution I wish he'd let me in They'll remember my name Let me help him to live My claim to fame I know why you're here You're a fellow man of science Our point of view is very much alike The choice is clear I don't need to be convinced Denying him this chance just isn't right Give him one a day That's the safest place to start At such a tiny dose, the risks are low Keep it between you and me Oh, they would never understand Let's both agree that no one needs to know Patterns are forming Breaking through the noise A beautiful symmetry Slowly falling into place Inspiration is flowing Filling up the void A perfect harmony Full of elegance and grace I've come alive The road is so much clearer now I'm finally awake Destiny waits Oh, am I getting through to you Can you hear me, son? I never doubted you I always knew you'd win this fight I am reaching out to you Can you help me, son? I'm so close to the answer But I need your brilliant mind We've come alive Our goal is so much closer now Now it's time to turn the page Destiny waits Now we will fulfill our fate Destiny waits! And soon you'll show them you're a genius And soon the whole world will know And soon you'll show them what life really is One day they'll know!
