lyrics

I’ve heard that this is how a great work is made. Every puzzle requires patience cause they mean more than words can say. I've heard that it's meant to reach some point of finality, but all the good stories I know don't ever end.. so as I look around, holding this light up to reality, I wonder if they'll comprehend that I never wanted to define or have them read between the lines. I never wanted anything, but to take a look inside. I've come to embrace uncertainty as a part of this whole ride. I care much less for answers than I care to ask "why?" I've come to see quite clearly that it's not all black and white. Hold onto one another. These waves can beat you down. Step up with your brothers... or you'll drown in the sound. This is where things gets loud. This is when I speak out. This is where you search for all the meaning that can't be found. You want something tangible. You want something real. You want to know the ups and downs.. want to learn the ins and outs. You want to know (need to know) what it's really all about, but what if I said that there's no way.. that trying to understand is like believing that there's no grey. The truth stares you in the face.. and it does not wish to be named. Too many play this game that still can't accept it for what it is. Maybe the color-scheme is far too vast. Maybe it's far too magnificent. Trying to piece it together. Too mesmerized to get a good grip. Always expecting some type of revelation about what it means to live. What's it really mean? Sink into the rhythm of acceptance that there are pieces you simply do not have. This great work is going to require all your patience. It's just simple math. One piece at a time.. and maybe I… with this new rhythm can finally start to see that there could be more meaning within the abstract. I can be directionless and still know I'm on track. Guidance comes from within. I no longer need a map. So let's take a walk; no longer lost. No longer lost (no longer). When you are void of the need to understand, that's when the pieces fall into your hands.
