You are the final piece to this mismatched symphony... crafted shy of perfect and meant to align me. But I'm ignoring the cues and warping the lines. Show me where God ordained the signs. I'm playing jokers against a queen of hearts It's a dramatic scene, no one knows their parts You laugh, the chorus of angels; and kiss me And It's the alternative utopian reality of heaven I see Where liars and poets speak of emotion And religion provides a cleansing ocean Just inside the constraints of definition You show me life from a cynic's rendition And I subscribe with reckless abandon This pathetic shadow is my chosen stand in Once the forecast changes you'll be gone And so will I, the rock the lie was built upon

Symphony
You are the final piece to this mismatched symphony... crafted shy of perfect and meant to align me. But I'm ignoring the cues and warping the lines. Show me where God ordained the signs. I'm playing jokers against a queen of hearts It's a dramatic scene, no one knows their parts You laugh, the chorus of angels; and kiss me And It's the alternative utopian reality of heaven I see Where liars and poets speak of emotion And religion provides a cleansing ocean Just inside the constraints of definition You show me life from a cynic's rendition And I subscribe with reckless abandon This pathetic shadow is my chosen stand in Once the forecast changes you'll be gone And so will I, the rock the lie was built upon
