Day Two: Isolation - Ayreon

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?

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

Is this a dream or is it real?

Sometimes the dream becomes reality

But I don’t know what to feel

Then I will guide you through this haze

But who are you, why are you here?

I am you and you are all of us

I can’t think, my mind ain’t clear

Then I will free you from this maze

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

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

You’re all delusions of my mind

And so we are, we’re all a part of you

Am I a part of some design?

The one design is in your head

How can it be, you look so real

We are as real as you imagine us

I can touch you, I can feel

Then take my hand and follow me

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

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

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

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

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
