Paroles: Ayreon. Day Six: Childhood.

Agony:
You’re alone in your bedroom
Hiding from the world, staring at the ceiling

Me:
Mother said ‘he’ll be home soon’
But he never was, and I knew how she was feeling

Fear:
You always let him down; ‘you’d never be like him’
He’d always break you, never let you win
No matter what you said, he’d always disagree
You swore that one day you would be
…better than him…one day you’d win

Agony:
You’re hiding out in the cellar
Aching and ashamed, covering up the bruises

Me:
And then he would tell her
How I tripped and hurt my head, how I’d always be a loser

CHORUS: Fear

Agony:
You’re all alone in your bedroom
How could you learn to care, when nobody cares for you

Me:
Mother said he’d be home soon
But he never came, as for me…he didn’t have to…
