lyrics

TFB:

Too few beats of my heart of been spent
When it didn't feel bent by the world that eats up
Every last cent of my personal sentiency
No need to meet the glances of indifference
Pretending they meant good for me

Too few hours in a day, too little time to care
About those who have not dared
To give me the time of day
Interaction is a two-way street
And I won't be made to play their little games
It's a game I can't beat
You people are all the same

This silence I know
Makes me feel at home
No more ebb and flow
The world's a sea calmed by silence I know

Tried to lock out the world and its cries
As they tried to give rise to the ones who'd rock
The societal boat like they weren't being choked by
Some mental block that always screams "why?"


TFB (YM):

Too few hours in a day, too little time to care
(Too few hours in a day, too little time to spare)
About those who have not dared
(Could this be my answered prayer?)
To give me the time of day
(The steps leading away)
Interaction is a two-way street
(Interaction is a two-way street)
And I won't be made to play their little games
(But if he want's to play a little game)
It's a game I can't beat
(It's a game I can beat)

The silence I know
Makes me feel at home
No more ebb and flow
The world is a vast sea calmed

By silence I know
Being on my own
No more lies, no more show
Just leave me be in this silence I know


YM:

Grounded patch of green
Known it so well
Never took that step
But there's no one here
After all this time
Any difference I could see
If I walked the world
I would see no features but my own
Guess I took that step
No one else around
Not a single sound

This is not my home
Not when I'm alone
Why must I be island out at sea
Or a ship wrecked by an empty breeze?
Sun is beating down
If it were dark, I could imagine
Faces that I knew
Hearts that I could finally open to

Never took that step
Stake the world on it
There is someone I have got to find
Sail the oceans deep
Face the monsters raging in my mind
Oh it only takes a single step
What is that I hear?
Is there maybe someone else to be?


TFB (YM):

This silence I know
Makes it feel like home
No more ebb and flow
The world is a vast sea calmed

By silence I know
Being on my own
No more lies
No more show
Just leave me be in this silence I know
(Someone else could be adrift in this stormy sea)
