The World is Breaking in Two

Hickory dickory dock tick tock tick tock tick tock
All the world is smiley mouth and sweet talk
Tick tock tick tock tick tock speaks the clock on the wall
As the sun languidly rises and the moon silently falls
Swallowing down days that temporally pass us by
Over and under and between taffy blue skies

Oh why don't I remember and why can't I recall
Why lost friendships took a great big fall
Next to humpty dumpy off the brick wall
Smashing them into itty bitty pieces oh so very small
---
Oh why oh why
Can't my hands touch the sun
Oh why oh why
Can't my eyes see the moon
Oh why oh why
Can only glitter faeries fly

Oh why oh why
Does there come a time in everyone's life
When passing memories and thoughts
Roll over each other back and forth
Over and over over and over over and over
Like round marbles on a tipping seesaw
---
And love tonight is breaking the world in two
As the sun plays musical chairs with the moon
The day leaves tonight comes
Time reveals forgotten memories

Oh I wonder how they are
How I wonder where they are
So far above my dreaming mind
With reaching hands outstretched
My upturned mouth singing
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder why you are
Up above the world so high
Like a diamond in the sky
Twinkle, twinkle, little star
How I wonder where you are
Like so many lost friends
Who moved so very very far
---
Oh I know it's so sad
Childhood dreams rode away on pretty horses
Midnight butterflies flew away away away away
Flew away from you into skies that were blue
Still pull your heart out and put it on display
'Cause you don't have to be so alone
No one has to be all alone (if they don't want to)

So let it go let it go let it go let it go
Let go of hate held inside out turned hands
Stop poisoning the deepest wells of humanity
With greed for all that life really doesn't need
Let it go let it go let it go let it go
Come hold onto love with out turned hands
Pour it into the deepest wells of humanity
Hold onto all that you need let go of greed
Let it go let it go let it go let it go

'Cause everywhere I look I see sad eyes
Cracked views through closed windows
Too many broken souls left unspoken
Untold thoughts stacking up inside minds
Like unread books lining shelves of barren libraries

They're all silently screaming over talking computers
Check me out check me out please check me out
'Cause they're so tired of sitting lonely on quiet shelves
No one tenderly reading their thoughts
No one gently turning their pages
No one no one no one no one
Only them, theirselves and they lonely as can be
Inside vacant buildings with walls that cry

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The world is breaking in two(6x)
Inside its fragmented pieces
There lies my love for you

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The world is breaking in two(6x)
Don't let it break you too
Dissolving all hope inside of you

Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhh
The world is breaking in two(6x)
Inside its fragmented pieces
There lives my love for you
---
Oh why oh why does truth hide inbetween lies
Oh where oh where do dreams go when they die
Oh why oh why can't my fingers touch the sky
Oh where oh where do glitter faeries fly

Oh why oh why must best friends
Always go their separate ways
When birds of familial feathers
Should fly and flock together
Holding hands until the end of forever

Oh why oh why
Can only glitter faeries fly

Oh why oh why
Does there come a time in everyone's life
When memories become still photographs
Pasted oh so carefully inside fading scrapbooks
Where strangers silently turn pages to see them
Over and over over and over over and over
Like ghosted dreams of days gone past

And love tonight is breaking the world in two
As the sun plays musical chairs with the moon
The day leaves tonight comes
Sleeping they live inside my head

Oh I wonder how they are
How I wonder where they are
So far below the evening sky
My wandering mind dreaming
My traveling soul seeking
Enchanted I sleep in neverland
What will I dream I do not know
The fragments fly away like chaff
Yet strange my mind is tickled so
I cannot help but laugh at all that has past
Yet strange my mind is saddened so
I cannot help but cry at all that has died

Oh I know it's so sad

Midnight butterflies flew away away away away
Flew away from you into skies that were blue
Still pull your heart out and put it on display
'Cause you don't have to be so alone
No one has to be all alone (if they don't want to)

So now all I need to know
Won't you please tell me
Could you if you would
Would you if you could
Trade all your tomorrows in the world
Self immolate in flames of burning hope
I could I could I could if I would
I would I would I would if I could

'Cause the history of my life
Outside of fate's peripheral vision
Lies bare boned and fragmented
Upon a battlefield of silent wars
Waged by lovers lost and found

So let it go let it go let it go let it go
Let go of hate held inside out turned hands
Stop poisoning the deepest wells of humanity
With greed for all that life really doesn't need
Let it go let it go let it go let it go
Come hold onto love with out turned hands
Pour it into the deepest wells of humanity
Hold onto all that you need let go of greed
Let it go let it go let it go let it go
