Lyrics

[00:41.75][00:39.59] I know the pieces fit
[00:43.09] 'Cause I watched them fall away
[00:46.63] Mildewed and smouldering
[00:49.92] Fundamental differing
[00:53.61] Pure intention juxtaposed
[00:56.71] Will set two lovers' souls in motion
[01:00.25] Disintegrating as it goes
[01:03.50] Testing our communication
[01:06.98] The light that feuled our fire then
[01:09.68] Has a burned a hole between us so
[01:13.32] We cannot see to reach an end
[01:16.61] Crippling our communication
[01:35.12] I know the pieces fit
[01:37.71] 'Cause I watched them tumble down
[01:41.35] No fault, none to blame
[01:44.39] It doesn't mean I don't desire to
[01:48.00] Point the finger, blame the other
[01:51.13] Watch the temple topple over
[01:54.54] To bring the pieces back together
[01:57.91] Rediscover communication
[02:16.51] The poetry
[02:18.36] That comes from the squaring off between
[02:22.35] And the circling is worth it
[02:26.69] Finding beauty in the dissonance
[02:32.43] There was a time that the pieces fit
[02:35.42] But I watched them fall away
[02:38.97] Mildewed and smouldering
[02:42.44] Strangled by our coveting
[02:45.50] I've done the math enough to know
[02:48.93] The dangers of our second guessing
[02:52.32] Doomed to crumble unless we grow
[02:55.77] And strengthen our communication
[04:37.07] Cold silence has
[04:44.61] A tendency to
[04:52.03] Atrophy any
[04:59.42] Sense of compassion
[05:24.41] Between supposed brothers
[05:31.89] Between supposed lovers
[05:54.50] (sometimes says "lovers" the first
[05:57.28] time and then "brothers" in concert)
[05:59.44] I know the pieces fit
[06:02.09] I know the pieces fit
[06:05.27] I know the pieces fit
[06:08.51] I know the pieces fit
[06:11.95] I know the pieces fit
[06:15.08] I know the pieces fit
[06:18.18] I know the pieces fit
[06:21.42] I know the pieces fit (crescendo)
