Gentle storm, thundering silence
Inferior force, uncontrolled calm
Vital unlike, logic, chaos, logic
The tone of which his birth ascend
The beat that of a heart descend
Repeating in the infinite
An insight made it clear
Order stormed the surface
Where chaos set the norm
Had there always been balance?
Surely not
Therein lies the beauty
It was solid
Yet everchanging
It was different
Yet the same
So I starve myself for energy
The song around his soul will bend
The notes that in this hole will melt
Crawl out of science
A dream

I need a minute to make my mind up
And you know that time is a sacrifice
In a minute I'll maybe wind up
All the dreams and desires that can't be thought of twice
Everyday I look everytime I see
Don't need a minute to make my mind up
But it's all different now that this is all happening to me
Just need a minute to make my mind up
I need a minute to make my mind up
Everyday I look and everytime I see
Don't need a minute to make my mind up
But it's all different now that this is all happening to me
Just need a minute to make my mind up
I need a m

Sei que estás em festa, pá
Fico contente
E enquanto estou ausente
Guarda um cravo pra mim
Eu queria estar na festa, pá
Com a tua gente
E colher pessoalmente
Uma flor do teu jardim
Sei que há léguas a nos separar
Tanto mar, tanto mar
Sei também que é preciso, pá
Navegar, navegar
Lá faz primavera, pá
Cá estou doente
Manda urgentemente
Algum cheirinho de alecrim

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
