I Am the Storm

We had a way We had a way of watching smiles exchange a history We had a way, and I can see it if I try Can you? A furtive glance across the room I saw you Was it real? It was real to me I have the impression That your heart will beat the same as mine You have the impression What’s constructed could be genuine enough with time Enough with time We each had form And then we had collision I can see you Can you see me? Will you see me? The simple recognition of another You’ve got the impression behind your digital wall Of the changing light But it was real I have my impressions behind my digital wall Of the changes in light But it was real We each had form And then we had collision (A) I can see you Can you see me? Will you see me? The simple recognition of another (B) In the mistiness of morning light I see you In the shining of the living light I see you Will you see me? All I want when it’s all said and done Is that you see me That you see me (C) I see you, will you see me? I see everything I’ve ever had I see you I know you I see us I believe in us I recognize the beauty that is you I see you I know you I feel you I recognize the beauty that is you (D) I see you Will you see me? (E) We've built this together We've lived this together We've laughed here together We lost this together We hated together We learned here together We fought this together We had this together You should see me You should see me (F) Even if you don’t want to know Even if you don’t want to know All I want when it’s all said and done Is that you see me Is that you see me I had the impression I could see you In the shadows of the dying light I had the impression you would see me You would see me

You walked away and left me bleeding on the ground Underestimating my return And then you went about your petty little life Never thinking of the bridge you burned Long may be the night But memories are longer You’ll be in my sights You cannot wound the king If you kick me when I’m down you’d better kill me Or I’ll rise again remembering your name I’ll never throw the first punch, but I’ll throw the last one And you will only have yourself to blame I’ve been down before My spirit can’t be broken I’ll come back for more You cannot wound the king (x3) You and life will knock me down I will shake it off like nothing I will rise up from the ground I am resilience I am resilience Resilience Resilience Resilience I am resilience

Is it possible that what we’ve learned is wrong? Is it possible we’ve been connected all along? We move through time and space Almost without thought As though we know it all Entities in motion Watching the apple fall Thinking what we know Is everything there is ‘Cause it’s all the eye can see Maybe something hidden from sight Can teach us a new reality The action is frightening Owing to the distance Everything I am Everything you are Everything we were And everything we’ll be Separate but as one Our connection permanent Always touching me Always touching you back Subatomic strings Play a secret melody An inscrutable link In defiance of what seems to be Nonlocality Everything I am Everything you are Everything we were And everything we’ll be Separate but as one Our connection permanent Always touching me Always touching you back No time, no space can divide us The force unknown, but it unites us Butterfly’s wings can cause a change In what we observe When we can’t comprehend the connection underneath The suggestion seems absurd No space can divide us No time can imply that we are separated No distance can breach that strong connection That will bind Everything I am Everything you are Everything we were And everything we’ll be Separate but as one Our connection permanent Always touching me Always touching you back Structures fold and waves collapse Systems linked by causes unknown Particles chained by invisible bonds Waves form again and vibrate as one Butterfly’s wings can cause a change In what we observe When we can’t comprehend the connection underneath The suggestion seems absurd Is all this behavior The key to a door That opens to an understanding Richer than we had before? The dancing forms in subatomic space Mysteriously entangled With building blocks that wear a Janus-face Binding each to something more (A) And if these elements are elemental Then we are all the same Our conflicts should be so inconsequential Our differences mundane Taking this to logic’s end would mean Our universe is one The implication, though it seems extreme Is all of us are connected to (B) Universal Emanating Light descending Illuminating (C) Everyone we’ve touched And thought that we had lost We’re never apart We’re never apart I feel your presence I know you feel mine I feel what it means EVERYTHING

(One, two, three, four!) All I need is a TV show, that and the radio Down on my luck again, down on my luck again I can show you, I can show you some of the people in my life I can show you, I can show you some of the people in my life It's driving me mad, just another way of passing the day I, I get so lonely when she's not there I, I, I, I... You're just another face that I know from the TV show I have known you for so very long, I feel you like a friend Can't you do anything for me? Can I touch you for a while? Can I meet you on another day and we will fly away? I can show you, I can show you some of the people in my life I can show you, I can show you some of the people in my life It's driving me mad it's just another way of passing the day I, I get so lonely when she's not there I, I, I... (x16) Turn it on, turn it on Turn it on, turn it on again (x6) (I can see another face)

Everything must end And the measurements we use shall lose all meaning Made our choice Thought we seemed so young All these years and still it’s not enough Saw you born Now your room is empty All these years and still it’s not enough Our world of speculation Where was meets might have been Time buries the day Evening skies take the sun away at the Stillest point of the turning earth We feel the moment when movement slows But God only knows how much is left Beat the odds More life lies ahead However many years there are won’t be enough Our world of tribulation Where hope meets desperation Time buries the day Evening skies take the sun away at the Stillest point of the turning earth We feel the moment when movement slows But God only knows how much is left The hands advance with cold precision And we can only stand and watch Or be engaged and unaware Of how rapidly it vanishes Pulled strong with the current And there’s nothing we can do Scenes form on the shorelines And then slip away from view The fragile hourglass Lies broken underfoot Every grain of sand a moment lost Nothing we can do or say Can manufacture more of it No currency can pay that cost I know that measurement is futile At the point when everything ends Reach out And make the most of the connection Concentrate And imprint it in your mind All that you can count on Is the strength of this reflection Against the force Of inexorable time Realizing Every moment’s precious Every moment’s precious Every moment’s precious

Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me I am standing up at the water's edge in my dream I cannot make a single sound as you scream It can't be that cold, the ground is still warm to touch Hey, we touch This place is so quiet, sensing that storm Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me Well I've seen them buried in a sheltered place in this town They tell you that this rain can sting and look down There is no blood around, see no sign of pain Hey, no pain Seeing no red now, see no rain Red rain is coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me Red rain Oh-oh, putting the pressure on much harder now To return again and again (Red rain), just let the red rain splash you (Red rain), let the rain fall on your skin (Red rain), I come to you, defenses down With the trust of a child Red rain coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down Pouring down all over me And I can't watch anymore No more denial It's so hard to lay down in all of this Red rain coming down Red rain Red rain is pouring down I'm bathing in Red rain coming down Red rain is pouring down Oh! rain is coming down all over me I'm begging you Red rain coming down Red rain coming down Red rain coming down Red rain coming down Over me in the red, red sea Over me, over me Red rain
