Forgive Durden
The Missing Piece (Joe’s Pub)
[ADAKIAS]
I have wandered peaks to end my thirst
And find this wonderfully colored universe
But I never thought I'd find someone like me
With hopes and dreams and more
She sends my heart to the floor
Can this be real?
I spent so many nights
Dreaming of the lights
And something to fill this hole inside my hollow chest
And who'd have guessed
It's the princess
Well, everything seems to fade
When I see her face
The sky and trees all blur
Every time I look at her
Nobody's understood me
Her eyes are fixed upon me
My life's been incomplete
But I have found the missing piece
[NIDRIA]
Who could this boy be
And why am I
Filled with curiosity
I don't recognize
His blue piercing eyes
I'm hypnotized
He takes the air out my lungs
I think I'm falling in love
I've been unable to articulate
How I've felt of late
But now I know
My heartbeat grows, it crescendos
Cause I'm bursting with O
Everything seems to fade
When I see his face
The sun and stars turn dim
Every time I look at him
Nobody's understood me
His eyes are fixed upon me
My life's been incomplete
Could I have found the missing piece?
[ADAKIAS]
Oh, you're the meaning
Nidria, you've shown me
This was no mistake
My life has felt so empty
It's been gnawing at my brain
My mind's in knots
It's got me lost
Please help me through the maze
Cause you're the key
The lock turning
The breaking of these chains
[NIDRIA]
Everything seems to fade
When I see his face
The sun and stars turn dim
Every time I look at him
Nobody's understood me
Til his eyes fixed upon me
My puzzle life's complete now that I've found the missing piece
[NIDRIA & (ADAKIAS)]
