lyrics

you expect a word from me but i was not sleeping
i heard every sound that you whispered so carefully
humming in vibrant winds, exports my soul again
the heat of our palms in the mirror we're staring in
collides with a sunken dream of loneliness and misery
and i could not tell if you were unhappy
what you've explained to me i could never dare to dream
it seems like the universe is up on a balance beam
who can tell me right from wrong? and what if i just play along?
as if i never saw the messenger i'm counting on
writing down the words he said in notebooks so i won't forget
and i will never ask for the meaning of life again

our ideas have never been so far from true
I'm telling you, my love, to change your point of view
we were so off course this time
hello myself, are you ready to climb?
we were not better off before
we were not better off before

you saw me sitting there alone in that wooden chair
my eyes fixed intently on the godsend that was in midair
and as i focused my eyes, the room began to come alive
the whole world was pumping with my blood so i must survive
long enough to take my place, those averages we all embrace
the sweating and the tears and the joys of the human race
you've got a heart in you, and now it always beats as two
but i could never love two heartbeats, its too much to do
so whose story can i tell when my lifeblood says farewell?
when all of my dreams are at the bottom of a wishing well
i just pray that i can wake or fluctuate what state i take
when every step is backwards and every move i must remake

here in this trap i'll stand, the remnants of a broken man
the burning of my eyes from the turning of the ceiling fan
our mouths are coerced in song and all the planets glide along
will they ever stop if we get to where we belong?
leaving it all to fate, the beauty we must create
compose our finale and finally circumnavigate
the void of where we once did wrong, now it hums our victory song
we've reached our own perfection and now everything is gone
