Ayreon - The Consultation lyrics

The Mother takes the Prodigy to a Psychiatrist for a**essment. He performs a diagnostic interview and battery of tests on the Prodigy. [Therapist] I know it's hard to find the words But tell me all about your world Do you struggle to adapt? Do you feel detached? [Prodigy] It seems I'm always out of place Like some alien machine I never know how I should be Or what to feel, or what is real [Mother] Can you help us reach our son? Can we put our faith in you? Can you help him overcome? There is brilliance shining through! Do you see it too? [Therapist] Let's talk about your dreams Can you tell me what you've seen Can you describe the way you feel? Do you feel anything at all? [Prodigy] I see things that don't belong In this four-dimensional world There is so much more beyond More to unveil, more to reveal [Mother] Can you help us reach our son? Can we put our faith in you? Can you help him overcome? There is magic shining through [Mother] Can you help us reach our son? [Prodigy] I, I need a future I can build [Mother] Can you tell us what do to? [Prodigy] Give me a role that I can fulfill [Mother] Can we help him rise above? [Prodigy] I know I've got something to give [Mother and Prodigy] A reason to live!
