Day Six: Childhood Lyrics - The Human Equation - Ayreon

[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 then 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 

[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 then him...one day you'd win 

[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...
