Lyrics

Broken pieces lying on the beach
Covered with dirt that would be clean
If taken in by more innocent eyes
Awkward motions and feigned deceit
Wound up purposes that never fulfilled
And slowly turned into lies
I know there must be more than this
Rocking, seesawing back and forth
And then all at once bursting through unchecked barely acknowledged
Through defenses that long ago disappeared
Frightened inside but not showing
Trying to touch but not knowing how
Enveloped by vagueness, distracted, direction failing
I know there must be more than this
I know there must be more than this
The touches of love remind when they come
But they don't stay, nothing stays, nothing sticks
The light's still there, the light shines through all of it
Like an echo of faded glory, only there's no more war
Only diplomacy, and history
And now the habits feed themselves
And watching, helpless
Wanting selfless, but pulling away, far away
I know there must be more than this
Than the call of make pretend and un-chosen ends
I know there must be more than this
Than safe emotions and half-hearted devotion
Fervor and resignation, intertwined
Inexorably spiraling downward
But tucked away, still hidden, protected by only anonymity
And guarded by purposeful ignorance Lies
The hope that down deep below the despair won't flow
Won't follow, can't but go
I know there must be more than this
And once gone, in some better time
I know there must be more than this
Faith and love unfettered will come again
I know there must be more than this
I know there must be more than this
