The Theater Equation ACT 2, Scene 1 – Day twelve: Trauma (Live in Rotterdam)

Arjen Anthony Lucassen

[Reason: Eric Clayton]
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: Anneke van Giersbergen]
We won't let you go
Take you down below
Dark crypts of your soul
Locked inside your head
You're better off dead

[Agony: Devon Graves]
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, hеr only son

[Passion: Irene Jansen]
She won't let you go
Keep you down below
Dark crypts of your soul
Lockеd inside your head
You're better off dead

[Agony: Devon Graves]
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: Irene Jansen]
She won't let you go
Keep you down below
Dark crypts of your soul
Locked inside your head
You're better off dead

[Reason: Eric Clayton]
Now she's at rest, she finally found her peace
There's no need to blame yourself
You must let go, or the pain won't ever cease
It's time to crawl out of your shell

[Me: James LaBrie]
Mom? Mom!

[Reason: Eric Clayton]
Your mother died, the day your father left
A part of you died as well

[Me: James LaBrie]
Nurse, nurse!

[Reason: Eric Clayton]
Feelings of guilt will haunt you 'til the end
You must fight hard to break this spell

But it hurts...

[Fear: Anneke van Giersbergen]
You hear her voice, from beyond her grave

[Mother]
"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?"

[Fear: Anneke van Giersbergen]
You hear his voice, cold and merciless

[Father: Mike Mills]
"You worthless fool, you let her die!"

[Fear: Anneke van Giersbergen]
And deep within yourself, you must confess
Your ways cannot be justified

[Pride: Magnus Ekwall]
By now you realized, you have to be
Relentless to survive
Repress your memories
Bury all emotions and thrive!
It's your life!

[Reason: Eric Clayton]
Now she's at rest, she found her peace

[Fear: Anneke van Giersbergen]
You hear her voice, from her grave

[Reason: Eric Clayton]
You must let go or the pain won't cease

[Fear: Anneke van Giersbergen]
Is this your thanks for all I gave

[Reason: Eric Clayton]
A part of you died as well

[Father: Mike Mills]
You worthless fool, you let her die

[Reason: Eric Clayton]
It's time to crawl out of your shell

[Fear: Anneke van Giersbergen]
Your ways cannot be justified

[Pride: Magnus Ekwall]
By now you realized, you have to be
Relentless to survive

Repress your memories
Bury all emotions and thrive!
It's your life!
