If music is my love
And my soul is a melody
The symphony I dream of

Is your heart's rushing beat
And I weep for your sweet harmony I long
The only question that remains is

May I be your song?

Bear witness to a soul that's been halved

Torn and poured out 'til it's empty
If a man searches this land for pain and strife there is plenty
Like the sun rising and tilting to bring the end of each season


My halved and broken soul it aches for completion
All my life my heart has yearned to play it's beat

A synchronous energy
a rushing capillary symphony alongside the song of my lover's lips, so sweet


Brushing my fingertips, along the curve of her hips
Striving from toe to tip,
Treading the infinite reaches of each other's eternal depths

My spirit searches for the end of nothingness

For the vibrance of the joining of our brief existence

At the union of one final blessed remnant
Of our first embrace
In the absence of your soul I lose interest in this place

I will never live again the way I did on that first day

We conducted the synaptic energies of each other's memories into a bliss that seized

Time and space, the minutes eased past us in elastic, fantastic peace
Stretch, bend, but never break
May we give but never take

May we live to love another day

Chorus:


We live, we strive, we hurt, we cry
We love, we lie, we burn, we die


All my life I've been surrounded trapped among these shallow seas
Faced with innumerable questions about my puzzle piece

Without a light to guide me I live where nothing fits
Still searching for a home in rocky crags and jagged cliffs


Never once catching a glimpse of another's jigsaw life that could even resemble it
and I envision it, like a shining star at night
appearing so perfect from a distance, but up close, nothing's right

And after twenty more years of life we realize
It's exactly the shape of everybody else's life
And we search for our own souls amidst a myriad

Of incomplete portraits of lives we never had

And our minds struggle to grasp how the hunger began

We grab, gobble it all up until we gag, and then
We want nothing more, but more and more than we could ever have
And in the endless pursuit we expend our last breath and then we pass


Chorus:


We live, we strive, we hurt, we cry
We love, we lie, we burn, we die


And I remain so chillingly alone
Swept along on a current of cruel time that is not my own
And it will not relent, so many years already spent

But it's a race, all the way until the end
To find my one, my love,
for new life together I dream of

I beg it to begin,
Please come along and breathe the urgency back into this life again
Revive this broken lonely man


I need you, to fall into me, stumble please
You slip and land in my waiting hands

Now with my purpose renewed I can stand
Presenting myself a lowly sacrifice, take my hands
To you my goddess, I would give my dying breath
My life, leap between you, and any knife
Oh! for a single chance to trade

Every drop of my blood in exchange
For your perfect kiss, I would offer this

My disembodied beating heart, if you were to bid
To take and do with as you wish

Now please consider this
If you were the pedals, may I be your stem?
If you were light, may I be your dawn?
If your heart is drowning, may I rescue it?
If your voice did bless this world and sing,

May I be your song?

Chorus:

We live, we strive, we hurt, we cry

We love, we lie, we burn, we die
