Lyrics
Gene, I don't have an answer. I don't even know what to say. In between a sunny day and a nightmare, you might realize what it means to try. To be there in a moment. In a moment, the moment's gone. I've lied nearly every time that it mattered. When you look at me now you'll know I'm true. The darkness frightens even me. My stomach tightens. It gets hard to breathe. You can't hold up the world when there's no ground below you. Gene, I met you in a daydream. Never opened my eyes. Everything I built amounts to nothing a great empire in disguise. It's clear as the sun is getting hazy. There's nothing you can do. You can't keep the night from falling. When I look at you now I know it's true. The darkness frightens even me. My stomach tightens and it's hard to breathe. You can't hold up the world when there's no ground below you. I don't know how to let go. Gene, one day you'll really know me, and you'll know yourself. Washed clean, made completely holybut in the blood of someone else. This thingit needs no explanation. It just screeches to a halt. With wings, the god of aviation. He looks down at the world and knows it's false. The darkness frightens because it's hard to see. Your stomach tightens, it gets hard to breathe. They'll say you can't hold up the world when there's no ground below you. But they don't know you. Gene, I don't have all the answers. I don't even know what to say.
