Diagnosis Lyrics - Ayreon

[Psychiatrist:] 

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 

[Father:] 

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 

[Psychiatrist:] 

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 could win 

I won't let you endanger my child 

I refuse to play dice with his life
