In this circle of life

I was caught off guard
The dead had risen
My eyes were wide open
But didn't see it coming

You had to be isolated
to see what's real
We had to be miles apart
to uncover the truth

What appeared to be causes our pain
What lay beneath causes their pain
It is only one or the other
And the choice has been made

Why did we deny the wonderful things?
Both have failed
We believed the make believe
Such a disgrace
But the divine has own plans
of changing our course
Our souls have seen
Our souls have felt
Now we're back to where we’ve started

And so we dance in freedom
In this circle of life
Black and white fit together and make whole
You no longer exist
I am no longer here
Only one prevails
In this circle of life

Hearts can't read

I hear ringing in my ears
It used to be a sweet sweet sound
giving me chills
But it turned into swords
piercing my heart
What I failed to do
is to look in your eyes
I should have looked into your eyes
I should have looked into your eyes

They say my heart can't read
but I'm too stubborn to listen
I only hear a thing
A sweet sweet sound
serenading my heart
I almost looked into your eyes
but I hesitated
I should have seen the lies
I should have seen the lies

I should have let my eyes read
pierce into your heart and realize
how afraid you are
But my heart believed
you're a different kind
You looked into mine
I failed to look at yours
I should have used my eyes
I should have used my eyes
