lyrics

V1

It's not the fire that burns my shallow heart,
It's not the snow that cools my blood.
A symmetry among emotions I must feel.
A cross that I alone must bear.

Tell me it matters.
That I will see you once again.
Tell me I could streak across the sky.
That fear is but a state of mind.

Oh - for every tragedy,
There's a corresponding joy.
Only in such harmony,
Ignoring lives as they're destroyed.


C1

Am I blinded by the way that I was taught?
Could there be a trick I long ago forgot?
If I'm virtuous will all the pain subside?
Is my faith in you something you despise?

And I can't feel it.
And I keep searching for it.
And I can't feel it, where are you?

I've seen the way you look at me.
I've felt the way you care for me.


V2

It's not the rain washing my life away.
It's not the storm that clouds my mind.
If I did not believe I wouldn't even ask.
Can I not pass this cup right by?

Tell me it matters.
That I am favored once again.
Tell me I could streak across the sky.
That fear is but a state of mind.

Oh - for every tragedy.
There's a corresponding life.
Only in such harmony,
Looking down with a blind eye.


V3

It's not the wind driving my hope to dust.
It's not the fog that hides my way.
Shouting in the void, I doubt I'm even heard.
So many rules to avoid blame.

Tell me it matters.
That you'll listen once again.
Tell me I could streak across the sky.
That fear is but a state of mind.

Oh - for every tragedy,
There's a corresponding dream.
Only in such harmony,
Denying all the distant screams.


C2

Am I blinded by the way that I was taught?
Could there be a trick I long ago forgot?
If I'm virtuous will all the pain subside?
Is my faith in you something you despise?

And I can't feel it.
And I keep searching for it.
And I can't feel it, where are you?

I've sensed the peace you've given me.
I've lived the grace you granted me.


C3

Am I blinded by the way that I was taught?
Could there be a trick I long ago forgot?
If I'm virtuous will all the pain subside?
Is my faith in you something you despise?

And I can't feel it.
Am I done searching for it?
And I can't feel it, where are you?

I've seen how you protected me.
I know how you have answered me.
