Intro

Verse 1

All my life I've been treading

paper in the space between the words

 And there implied is that

 I'm but another body for the birds

carrion absurd and accidental

atoms beating air

carrying on unwitting orphan

 of an unyielding despair

Guitar solo

Verse 2

 But linger on just for a moment

 until we can ascertain if

Amsomething's wrong with me

Or the assumptions of these

self indicted brains

 Because I contend that all

of this is more than just

 a meaningless charade

 That each and every moment is

 a bottle with a message hid away

Chorus 1

If anything means anything

 There must be something meant

 for us to be a song

 that we were made to sing

 There must be so much

more than we can see

Verse 3

 But all our lives we've

been treading paper

 in the space between the words

 And there implied's the thought

that we are barely more than

bodies for the birds carrion

 They say that we're just accidental

atoms beating air carrying on and on

 Unwitting orphans of an unyielding

 despair

Bridge

But our hearts

 tell a different story

our hands feel a different pulse

Chorus 2

Silence:

If anything means anything

 There must be something meant

 for us to be

Distortion:

If anything means anything

 There must be something meant

 for us to be a song

 that we were made to sing

 There must be so much

more than we can see

Outro

 Something fathomless deeper than our

 pride can dive numinous higher than

 Our hearts can rise transcendent

 further than our thoughts

 can reach immanent

 closer than the air we breathe
