There is a fragile space between
What is and what is done
All the words tainted with a smile
That made us laugh and cry
We swayed like fireflies
Beneath the red limelight
When we strayed
Under cloudy skies
We renewed the league of dreamers
But through it all
Was no common ground
We were close yet so far away.
In many subtle ways you've killed the coil
With your monumental dreams
With your simple-minded dreams, yeah
There is a lonely place inside your head
Where all voices fail to reach
And even angels fear to tread, oh
Outside open secrets spread
Both of you were meshed together,
Just like savants living in a world
Where you only pretend to care.
In many clever ways you've killed the coil
With your monumental dreams
With your simple-minded dreams, yeah
There is a distant place inside your head
Where all voices fail to reach
And even angels fear to tread, oh
And your biography
Is like a looking-glass
There's someone you don't know...
There's someone no one knows...
