lyrics

he always felt the growing difference from the rest
he couldn't determine what it was all about
and why he knew that someone's buried in his chest
while his father made him heir apparent
well he should be proud

he waits much too long
but what is going wrong

oh if I could
I know I would
erase the fears that poke the fire
oh if I could
I know I should
cease suppressing my desire
when all these tears dry
I'll make you understand
what's slowly getting out of hand
cause I've reached a dead end

their initiation rites made him a proper boy
every morning holds another true-blue toy, a blue toy

he's not a man inside
but how can it be put right

oh if I could….

and when these days are gone
he'll have finished with it all

"one day all this could be yours, but you gotta behave like a man if you really want it, keep that in mind, now go and find a girl and make her your wife"
"my son, we're so proud of you, you're all the world to me, soon you'll be ready to take much more responsibility for your life, I'm sure, I love you"

think of all these signs
that could be noticed
does nothing come to mind
will you leave it as it is

Very cool album, found out about it from a dashcam video on Reddit. Very varied styles, the prog metal stuff is similar to Tesseract. Two thumbs up. kcm_
