You and me of the 10,000 wars   Dividing life into factions of pleasures and chores   A bed to be made and a bed to lie in   A hand in the darker side   And our sights set on Zion      The heart of a skeptic and the mind of a child   Put my life in a box and let my imagination run wild   Pour the cement for my feet   The heart and the mind on a parallel course   Never the two shall meet      And oh, the dissatisfied with the satisfied   Everybody loves a melodrama   And the scandal of a lie   Still you held your arms open   For the prodigal daughter   I see my eyes in your eyes through my eyes   Still waters      Try making one and one make one   Twist the shapes until everything comes undone   Watch the wizard behind the curtain   The larger than life and the    Power of seeming certain      The evil ego and the vice of pride   Is there ever anything else that   makes us take our different sides?   I wanted everything to feed me   About as full as I got was of myself   And the upper echelons of mediocrity      After the battles and we're still around   Everything once up in the air has settled down   Sweep the ashes, let the silence find us   A moment of peace   Is worth every war behind us
