Schism Lyrics

I know the pieces fit

'Cause I watched them fall away

Mildewed and smouldering

Fundamental differing

Pure intention juxtaposed

Will set two lovers' souls in motion

Disintegrating as it goes

Testing our communication

The light that feuled our fire then

Has a burned a hole between us so

We cannot see to reach an end

Crippling our communication

I know the pieces fit

'Cause I watched them tumble down

No fault, none to blame

It doesn't mean I don't desire to

Point the finger, blame the other

Watch the temple topple over

To bring the pieces back together

Rediscover communication

The poetry

That comes from the squaring off between

And the circling is worth it

Finding beauty in the dissonance

There was a time that the pieces fit

But I watched them fall away

Mildewed and smouldering

Strangled by our coveting

I've done the math enough to know

The dangers of our second guessing

Doomed to crumble unless we grow

And strengthen our communication

Cold silence has

A tendency to

Atrophy any

Sense of compassion

Between supposed brothers

Between supposed lovers

(sometimes says "lovers" the first

time and then "brothers" in concert)

I know the pieces fit

I know the pieces fit

I know the pieces fit

I know the pieces fit

I know the pieces fit

I know the pieces fit

I know the pieces fit

I know the pieces fit (crescendo)
