[Verse 1]
You and me of the ten thousand wars
Dividing life into factions of pleasure and chores
A bed to be made and a bed to lie in
A hand in the darker side and our sights set on Zion

[Verse 2]
The heart of a skeptic and the mind of a child
Put my life in a box and let my imagination run wild
Pour the cement for my feet
The heart and the mind on a parallel course
Never the two shall meet

[Chorus]
And oh, the dissatisfied with the satisfied
Everybody loves a melodrama
And the scandal of a lie
Still you held your arms open for the prodigal daughter
I see my eyes in your eyes through my eyes
Still waters

[Verse 3]
Try making one and one make one
Twist the shapes until everything comes undone
Watch the wizard behind the curtain
The larger than life and the power of seeming certain
[Verse 4]
The evil ego and the vice of pride
Is there ever anything else
That makes us take our different sides?
I wanted everything to feed me
About as full as I got was of myself
And the upper echalons of mediocrity

[Chorus]
And oh, the dissatisfied with the satisfied
Everybody loves a melodrama
And the scandal of a lie
Still you held your arms open for the prodigal daughter
I see my eyes in your eyes through my eyes
Still waters
Still waters

[Verse 5]
After the battle and we're still around
Everything once up in the air has settled down
Sweep the ashes, let the silence find us
A moment of peace is worth every war behind us

[Outro]
You and me of the ten thousand wars
