They say that these are not the best of times
But they're the only times I've ever known
And I believe there is a time for meditation

In cathedrals of our own
Now I have seen that sad surrender in my lovers' eyes
I can only stand apart and sympathize

For we are always what our situations hand us
It's either sadness or euphoria


And so we'll argue and we'll compromise
And realize that nothing's ever changed
For all our mutual experience

Our separate conclusions are the same
Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity
A reason coexists with our insanity

And so we choose between reality and madness
It's either sadness or euphoria


How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies
Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies
So we stand upon the ledges of our lives

With our respective similarities
It's either sadness or euphoria
