The Hours Between
Embracing the Power Between Love and Chaos
Lyrics
Your love began
Love commenced
It couldn't fly so it ran
Unable to soar, it moved swiftly
On legs of animal instinct
Utilizing instinctual strength
Stronger than
More robust than a numbing scheme
Some deadening plan
That fails to recognize the potency
That doesn't see the power
Of the open expanse amid trees
Of the space between the trees
And the passing moments within them
And the hours between the hours
And the duration amidst time
Some try to make themselves fall
Some attempt to force themselves into love
Some don't believe it at all
Others entirely disbelieve in it
Some like the peace and the silence
Some prefer tranquility and quietness
Some like the pain and the violence
While others incline towards agony and aggression
Your love broke free
Your affection broke away
Of what you thought it would be
From the envisioned constraints
It crossed every I
It adhered meticulously to details
And dotted every T
And adhered precisely to every requirement
Made lots of fun
Made light of your affliction
Of your disease
Took pleasure in your disgrace
Took pleasure in your shame
And inflicted harm on your hopes
And a hammer to your knees
Even in the face of adversity
Maybe you're on the wrong track
Perhaps you're heading in the wrong direction
But you would never find the way back
Yet, you'd never rediscover your former path
To where you were when it was just you
To a time when it was just about you
There's nothing can bring any sense to
No logic can rationalize
Your love that lives
Your affection that endures
And loves to laugh at the hate
Finding joy in mocking hatred
To triumph over it daily
Conquering it each day
To demonstrate
To exhibit, to contemplate
To take lots of time
To spend ample time
To think about the power
Contemplating the potential
Of the space between the trees
Of the expanse amidst trees
And the hours between the hours
And the intervals within time
