The Distance Between

Lyrics

Fingers drum on the glass divide Truth don't knock-it slips inside Mirror, mirror empty square Been that, done there, I don't care

So close we hum in parallel time Our rhythms sync but miss the rhyme

You mean what I say, I say what you mean Each preaching insight but not what's been Your beautiful noise, a critical scene What stands in our way is the distance between

Whispers hum in static tone Echoes make the dark my own Every scar's a map I fake Tracing dreams I never wake

So close we hum in parallel time Our rhythms sync but miss the rhyme

You mean what I say, I say what you mean Each preaching insight but not what's been Your beautiful noise, a critical scene What stands in our way is the distance between

The critic sings in stabbing shouts To fill the artist's heart with doubts But in the hush between the drought- The song survives. The doubt burns out

You mean what I say, I say what you mean Each preaching insight but not what's been Your beautiful noise, a critical scene What stands in our way is the distance between

Ain't there times when lines align Where chance combines and rhymes shine
