paroles de chanson Day Eight: School - Ayreon

It's time to leave your sheltered cage, face your deepest fears
The world is against you; you're fighting back the tears
All the kids were watching me
I felt very small
I could hear the laughter as I stumbled down the hall

Seeking to find, deep in the trauma as it leaves you behind
Bleeding it gone into the profit of the competition
Loving today! All of the feelings, are they going away?
Ending it now! I'd rather hear about the where and the how

The bigger boys they beat you up
Out here you cannot hide
No friends to help you, no father at your side
I swore that I'd get back at them but I was just a kid
One day I'd show them; I wouldn't rest until I did

Seeking to find, deep in the trauma as it leaves you behind
Bleeding it gone into the profit of the competition
Loving today! All of the feelings, are they going away?
Ending it now! I'd rather hear about the where and the how

You've got to prove you're not like the rest!
There's no need if you know you're the best
That's not enough! Let the other kids know
What's the use? Go with the flow

Be a man; give into hate!
You better learn to communicate
Better to learn to protect yourself!
That's not the way to get out of this hell!

See that kid? Wipe the smile off his face!
He's just like you, feeling out of place
Well I don't care, let's show him who's boss
That's not the way to get your message across

Be a man; give into hate!
You better learn to communicate
Better to learn to protect yourself!
That's not the way to get out of this hell!

Don't rack your brain, let it all go
Savor the moment and feel your blood flow

And I got back at them, still acting like a kid
Then I showed them
But when I had, I could not quit

Seeking to find, deep in the trauma as it leaves you behind
Bleeding it gone into the profit of the competition
Loving today! All of the feelings, are they going away?
Ending it now! I'd rather hear about the where and the how
