you and me of the ten thousand wars dividing life into factions of pleasure 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 echalons of mediocrity 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 still waters after the battle 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 you and me of the ten thousand wars
