Phase 2: Symmetry
Quelle: Spotify
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?
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
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?
Let's talk about your dreams
Can you tell me what you see?
Can you describe the way you feel?
Do you feel anything at all…
I see things that don't belong
In this four-dimensional world
There is so much more beyond
More to unveil, more to reveal
Can you help us reach our son?
Can we put our faith in you?
Can you help him overcome
There is magic shining through
Can you help us reach our son?
I, I need a future I can build
Can you tell us what to do?
Give me a role that I can fulfil
Can we help him rise above?
I know I've got something to give
A reason to live!
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 testing a new drug that can help him focus
Please tell us more, that sounds intriguing
Can he join your clinical trial?
If he could 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
I have to confess it's experimental
I'm still running through the tests
The side effects could include extreme delusions
No! Not on my life, I'll never allow it!
No matter what we could win
I won't let you endanger my child
I refuse to play dice with his life
How could you even contemplate
Experimenting on our child?
Were you only thinking of yourself again?
No! Why shouldn't I want to help him
You make it sound like it's a crime
I'm not giving up, this isn't over!
So... what if they are right
And he's so remarkable
How does that affect me?
Ever since I was a child
It all came so easy
I never had to try
If he's as brilliant as they say
How will I be noticed
Now I'm not so special… anymore
I'm not sure why I'm afraid
No, he won't beat me
Not without a fight, no!
One day I'll show them I am the genius
One day the whole world will know
One day I'll show them who he really is
One day they'll know
Let's find him a future to build
He'll give me a role to fulfil
I know he's got something to give
We all need a reason to live
A future to build
A role to fulfil
Something to give
A reason to live
Where am I going?
How did this happen?
My life has unfolded
Depressingly average
But if I support him
Help him reach his potential
He'll be my contribution
I can still make my mark
My name will live on
His shyness is charming
I wish I could reach him
He's strangely disarming
I hope I can free him
I know I can help him
He needs someone like me
To reach his potential
To learn how to feel
He'll be my contribution
I wish he'd let me in
They'll remember my name
Let me help him to live
My claim to fame
I know why you're here
You're a fellow man of science
Our point of view is very much alike
The choice is clear
I don't need to be convinced
Denying him this chance just isn't right
Give him one a day
That's the safest place to start
At such a tiny dose, the risks are low
Keep it between you and me
Oh, they would never understand
Let's both agree that no one needs to know
Patterns are forming
Breaking through the noise
A beautiful symmetry
Slowly falling into place
Inspiration is flowing
Filling up the void
A perfect harmony
Full of elegance and grace
I've come alive
The road is so much clearer now
I'm finally awake
Destiny waits
Oh, am I getting through to you
Can you hear me, son?
I never doubted you
I always knew you'd win this fight
I am reaching out to you
Can you help me, son?
I'm so close to the answer
But I need your brilliant mind
We've come alive
Our goal is so much closer now
Now it's time to turn the page
Destiny waits
Now we will fulfill our fate
Destiny waits!
And soon you'll show them you're a genius
And soon the whole world will know
And soon you'll show them what life really is
One day they'll know!
