A Filtered Portrait

from Inevitable Ascension Theories by Brian N.

/

lyrics

His spirit is muted, his joy executed
Quieted down to a manageable state
They abruptly disarm him, it's sadly too common
Childhood is halted at an alarming rate

Exploiting his needs, a parental disease
All too easy when you're outside the know
Take it with water, don't make this harder
There are one of two ways that this can go

You'd rather take the easy road
Then walk them through the years
They’re not themselves they’re something else
A filtered portrait doesn’t stand a chance
In a freely flowing world

He’s going in through the out door, can’t take it anymore
Not feeling himself something’s been removed
Those bastard physicians, not exactly magicians
A pledge, the turn, but there’s no prestige

You'd rather take the easy road
Then walk them through the years
They're not themselves, they're something else
A filtered portrait doesn’t stand a chance
In a freely flowing world

Professional interests focused on financial gain
A guardian's choice based on steadying the wave
Don't you hear them crying out for love
It may take years but you will see
The fading and extinction of their trust in you

You'd rather take the easy road
Then walk them through the years
They're not themselves, they're something else
A filtered portrait doesn’t stand a chance
In a freely flowing world

Restless angels; take some time and listen to them
Restless angels; yearning, they seek your refuge
Restless angels; they are their own, help them to fly
