The Ones
I think I finally see just how it happened, took a young boy's open life And turned it, twisted it right into something else You know there must have been a reason, sort of like falling on a land mine, Wakes your mind up, cuts your senses, you wouldn't choose it for yourself But strange things happen, unpredicted, mighty time rolls ever forward Across the crooked trails of what seems at first such an arbitrary ride The things we yearn for, all we need, the things we want, how they make us bleed
Still I mostly throw it all away Kill it, waste it, all my time The only precious thing there is Exactly equal to this life The only gift there ever was But no, I know, the things, the ones we fill it with Who are they, and why are they the ones
If my mind could reconcile the things my eyes took in those moments Should I take the time or just say goodbye, move on to something else Why waste time in this retelling, twisting shape, convincing, selling Is my doubt so great I still need to justify it to myself And beyond that why debate it, it exists because I said it I'm no liar, exaggerator, because I feel it more than you And if I stretched it from proportion just to set myself in motion A captive mind can be no standard from which we ever take our cue
Even so I throw it all away Kill it, waste it, all my time The only precious thing there is Exactly equal to this life The only gift there ever was Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com But no, I know, the things, the ones we fill it with Who are they
And you and I screamed this is how it has to be My whole mess outside myself But safe in you and yours just as safe in me How could it be wrong to give up yourself so freely That's the gift we stumbled on but then forgot and fell off Just as quickly
It's what's inside, what's between
Behind, below, deep down beneath A hidden cut it bears its teeth It does its job, it swallows whole All our dreams of life and living, best-intentioned blood and souls Our only want, my deepest goal Breaks in pieces and it steals And then forgives and finally heals It gives us love and lets us feel And it's the only thing that lasts, the only constant moving fast Moving on, it's moving past Brings the one that makes it in, the one that penetrates my skin My sacred fit, my holy kin It's what's within
It's how we're tied
