Story Behind The Song

Written as a duet.

Lyrics

Would that it were, she said
Tried to infer, alleged
That he was conjuring
Truth from lies
Your lines a blur, she said
Think you could err instead
Out from the dark
Into daylight ?

Its a dichotomy
How could you possibly
Fail to see, or recognise
The why's and
The wherefore's
Under the floorboards
Keeping all doors closed

Oceans, between me and you
With mountain's high
And river's dry, we're broken
Running out of glue
Why did we choose
These avenue's ?

Your sub-conscious
Is impervious
Too censored to see

Would that it were, he said
Our world's concurred
And met
But you're neglecting reality
You're rationality
Its like an itch to me
Constantly just out of reach

Frozen
Lost in translation
(Perevod) *
Russian roulette
These tete-a-tete's
Are poison
Where did this go wrong
Always uphill
Lacking in traction

You're so pious
So self- righteous
Too strung up to see

Grandiose plans we had
Mapped out in unchartered
Positivity
Reclaim inertia
Tap into what we were
It sounds so easy

Would that it were , they said
We weren't at loggerheads
Put to the test
In this festering bile
Press the re-set we'll get
On with the best of it
Forget regrets
And adjust this dial

Yesli by eto bylo * (x3)


*Russian for ; 'translation' and 'would that it were', respectively.
