Ayreon - Diagnosis lyrics

The Psychiatrist informs the Mother and Father of his findings. But will they accept the unconventional course of treatment he suggests? [Therapist] Yes, I'm afraid I see signs of impairment But there is something more He's an exceptional savant, one in a million His mind is ablaze with distraction But maybe I can help I'm a testing a new drug That can help him focus [Father] Please tell us more, that sounds intriguing Can he join your clinical trial? If he can concentrate he could help me He might even be of some use! Center the mind, cut straight to the core Brighten the flame, break open the cage Shatter the wall, shut down the noise Soften the pain, sharpen the brain [Therapist] I have to confess it's experimental I'm still running through the tests The side effects could include Extreme delusions [Mother] No, not on my life! I'll never allow it No matter what we can win I won't let you endanger my child I refuse to play dice with his life! [Father] Center the mind, cut straight to the core Brighten the flame, break open the cage Shatter the wall, shut down the noise Soften the pain, sharpen the brain
