The things that you gather Are lost in the end The things that you gather Are lost in the end The world is not open And your head is not here The world is not open And your head is not Please tell me the reason Why the melody is new Tell me the reason Why the orchestra is dead Tell me the reason Why the song is heard by no one By no one I'm turning around (to head) into the unknown 'Cause nobody can see where I'm going To the black or white? The right or left? The black or white? The right or left? It's all my choice Nobody can see it As it dances across the sky And nobody can hear it As it crashes through the why Why, why, why Please tell me the reason Why the melody is new Tell me the reason Why the orchestra is dead Tell me the reason Why the song is heard by no one By no one I'm turning around (to head) into the unknown 'Cause nobody can see where I'm going To the black or white? The right or left? The black or white? The right or left? It's all my choice A song for my reason Has come to my heart A song for my reason Has come to my heart Nobody can hear it Because my heart keeps it thin Nobody can hear it Because my heart keeps it When you crack it open It falls apart When you open it up It breaks your heart That's the message Underneath it all You just try to breathe Underneath it all You just try to breathe No reason to be alarmed Nothing's here at all Rowing to the shore Nothing's present
