It’s been a loveless year
Have we eyes to see,
that love is gathering?
Look me in the eyes
In your eyes,
I am complete
Tell me what you see
I see the light and the heat
Perfect paradise, tearin’ at the seams
This is no place,
but here I am
I wish I could escape it
I’ve been locked inside your
heart-shaped box
I don’t wanna fake it
If you believe,
there’s nothing up his sleeve
Wish I could erase it
I Wanna Turn the Whole Thing
Upside Down
Make your heart believe
Open hearts,
feel about it
But I’m a bad liar, bad liar
Now you know
Is there anybody in there?
Just nod if you can hear me –
Is there anyone home?
Open your eyes,
your life is a lie
Did all my dreams never
mean one thing?
Oh, I’ve been asking for…
Oh, I’ve been asking for problems, problems, problems
There is another kind of knowledge. It is not one of physical facts, nor can it be quantified and measured. It is a knowledge of our inner world, not the outer one, a knowledge of what we used to call the spirit or the soul, that invisible, intangible something that animates us and leads us to ask questions about who we are and what our place in this mysterious world can be.
I wage my war, on the world inside
I take my gun to the enemy’s side
I can’t be what you want me to be
Believe me, this one time
Believe me…
Ninety-nine dreams I have had,
in every one a red balloon
