Gene, I don't have an answer
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
And in a moment, the moment's gone
I have lied nearly every time that it mattered
When you look at me now, you know I'm true
The darkness frightens even me
ย
My stomach tightens and it's hard to breathe
ย
You can't hold up the whirlwind, there's no ground below you
ย
Gene, I met you in the daydream
I never opened my eyes
Everything I built amounts to nothing
A great empire in the skies and it's clear
As the sun is getting hazy
But there's nothing you can do
You can't keep the night from falling
And when I look at you now, I know it's true
The darkness frightens even me
ย
My stomach tightens and it's hard to breathe
ย
You can't hold up the whirlwind, 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
Wash clean
Make completely holy in the blood of someone else
And this thing, it needs no explanation
It just screeches to a halt
And with wings, the God of aviation
It looks down at the world and knows it's false
The darkness frightens 'cause it's hard to see
ย
Your stomach tightens, it gets hard to breathe
ย
They'll say you can't hold up the whirlwind
There's no ground below you
But they don't know you
ย
Gene, I don't have all the answers
I don't even know what to say
