During the time of which I speak
  It was hard to turn the other cheek
  To the blows of insecurity
  Feeding the cancer of my intellect
  The blood of love soon neglected
  Lay dying in the strength of its impurity
  Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together
  They've all gone and left each other
  In search of fairer weather
  And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
  To the slim chance of love's recovery
    There I am in younger days, star gazing
  Painting picture perfect maps
  Of how my life and love would be
  Not counting the unmarked paths of misdirection
  My compass, faith in love's perfection
  I missed ten million miles of road i should have seen
  Meanwhile our friends we thought were so together
  Left each other one by one on the road to fairer weather
  And we sit here in our storm and drink a toast
  To the slim chance of love's recovery
    Rain soaked and voice choked
  Like silent screaming in a dream
  I search for our absolute distinction
  Not content to bow and bend
  To the whims of culture that swoop like vultures
  Eating us away, eating us away
  Eating us away to our extinction
    Oh how i wish i were a trinity
  So if i lost a part of me
  I'd still have two of the same to live
  But nobody gets a lifetime rehearsal
  As specks of dust we're universal
  To let this love survive
  Would be the greatest gift that we could give
  Tell all the friends who think they're so together
  That these are ghosts and mirages
  All these thoughts of fairer weather
  Though it's storming out I feel safe within the arms
  Of love's discovery
