Gentle storm, thundering silence
Inferior force, uncontrolled calm
Vital unlike, logic, chaos, logic
The tone of which his birth ascend
The beat that of a heart descend
Repeating in the infinite
An insight made it clear
Order stormed the surface
Where chaos set the norm
Had there always been balance?
Surely not
Therein lies the beauty
It was solid
Yet everchanging
It was different
Yet the same
So I starve myself for energy
The song around his soul will bend
The notes that in this hole will melt
Crawl out of science
A dreamland if you dare
Disorder clawed the boundaries
We're ordered to stand clear
Was it always different
Never the same?
Therein lies the beauty
It was solid
Yet everchanging
It was different
Yet the same
So I starve myself for energy
As there were no witnesses
There was nothing to be told
As nothing could be grasped
The story could unfold
Superimposed on the elements of anger
Fear, anxiety, hate, despair, remorse
So break from all that fear, hold fast
Exposed, now turn to all you lack
Let echoes be the answers
Return from all the screams
Wordless now, the last attack
So silent, it hurts to listen
Was it always solid
To never change?
Therein lies the beauty
It was solid
Yet everchanging
It was different
Yet the same
So I starve myself for energy(Gary Burr/Hillary Lindsey/Bruce Bouton)
When you know
You don't need the time to talk about it
When you hear
You're heart says that you'll be fine without it
It's hard to find the strength to fight a battle
You're not winning
From the outside we appear to be
The way we've always been
How I look and how I feel
What I'm told and what is real
That's two different things
What they ask and what I pay
What I think and what I say
That's two different things
It isn't kind, it isn't fair
I have to draw the line somewhere
And face the tears that it brings
'Cause what you've got and what I need
Is two different things
Don't you see
We've been nothing but a grand illusion
Pardon me if I show the world trace we're using
Well I'm the first to tell you now
That half the blame is mine
We could keep pretending that tomorrow will be fine
How I look and how I feel
What I'm told and what is real
That's two different things
What they ask and what I pay
What I think and what I say
That's two different things
It isn't kind, it isn't fair
I have to draw the line somewhere
And face the tears that it brings
Cause what you've got and what I need
Is two different things
Everything you offer me
Should make me turn and stay
Black is white and wrong is right
And it's hard to live that way
How I look and how I feel
What I'm told and what is real
That's two different things
What they ask and what I pay
What I think and what I say
That's two different things
It isn't kind, it isn't fair
I have to draw the line somewhere
And face the tears that it brings
Cause what you've got and what I need
Is two different things
Cause what you've got and what I need
Is two different things
Oh yeah, two different things
Two different things
