Don't know what to say,
And if I did
I wouldn't know how to say it
And if I did
I wouldn't know how to explain it
And if I could
What then I'd have to start over
and figure out where it always falls apart
the world goes on being unloved
until we learn to love ourselves and each other
The heavens stay out of touch
Until we learn to keep ourselves and them from danger
This is where I break the chain
And rise into your higher thoughts
This is where I break the chain
And count down while you count up
Caught in the sway of the angels
A transformation begins
And the powers that slide to keep me hidden
And everyone is aware
I'm here waiting for it to fall apart
Knowing when and if it does
I'm powerless so another power is granted
You could place me in a loveless world
But I'm still going to love
You could make my life awful
And you will see me make it better
You could teach me how to hate
And I'll see where you went wrong
You can try to break me down
But I'll pick myself back up
You can try to make me believe in something
But all I can do is make you believe in me
You can give me something to fear
But that's why we are all afraid
This is where it falls apart
And together we start over
this is where we have it figured out
learn to pull together
this is where the truth lies
and the lies turn to truth
this is where dreams are made
and how dreams come true
I don't know how to confuse myself any further
and if I did
I wouldn't know how to say it
And if I did
I wouldn't know how to explain it
And if I could
What then I'd have to start over
and figure out where it always falls apart
now the aliens will be easy to spot
and everyone will be able to point them out
now god will have somewhere to visit
and contemplate his thoughts
now the spirits have a home to be healed
from a traumatizing past
sometimes it would make sense not to step into the light
sometimes it makes sense
not to go into the dark either
and to them this powerlessness to watch over us
and understand
is their freedom
they could place themselves in a familiar home
but watching us move on is heart breaking
you could place me in a hopeless world
but I'm still going to have hope
you could make my life meaningless
but living it gives it meaning
you could teach me how to love
and I'll see where you went wrong
you can try to build me up again
but you know sometimes I try to lose
you can take my beliefs away
but I'm going to believe whatever I choose
you can give me something to live for
and find meaning in my death
The world goes on being loved
Until they no longer appreciate ourselves and each other
The heavens always protect us
Knowing our world is like an oracle, a god,
And a curse if ever they put us in danger
Don't know what to think
And if I did I wouldn't know how to think it
And if I did I wouldn't know how to explain it
And if I could
What then I'd have to start over
And figure out where it always falls apart
This is where we break the chain
And rise into our higher thoughts
This is where they break the chain
And count down while we count up
I bid the spirits of my loved ones
To watch over those I have ever loved
And leave me be with peace of mind
To protect those around me
As they might not understand
many of the things I am
again I am powerless
so another power is granted
surviving the struggle
I'm not sure if I should understand
Both ways to skin the cat
Love you through the love that I have
Help you all I can
Or love you through a hate for you to survive
Because I had nothing else to offer
The beauty of that is awful
and inspires suffering and trauma
I'm looking for blame
It's as though your mother was victim
And felt she had to victimize you
And its only you who can break the chain
All the thoughts I never heard inside my own head
I wish I would have heard them
All the thoughts you would have had someone else think
I wish I had heard them then
All the thoughts you were thinking for me to hear
I wish someone could have thought them on time
I wish that dream she had you living is destroyed
