"Simultaneously" lyrics

"Simultaneously"

I live in two different worlds
Simultaneously
The one I seem to live in
And the one that lives in me
And one is full of violence
Oppression and disrespect
And one is full of longing
To breathe and to connect

Yeah, my inner world is fragile
And the outer world is dumb
And this whole thing is such a hassle
Won't you wake me when it's done?

I live in two different worlds
Simultaneously
The one where we are fractured
And the one where we are free
Freedom requires safety
Freedom requires trust
Freedom requires balance
In the equation of us

Yes, my inner world is fragile
And the outer world is dumb
And this whole thing is such a hassle
Won't you wake me when it's done?
When it's done...

I live in two different worlds
Simultaneously
And between them is a chasm
Unfolding unfathomably
And in that chasm, a shadow
And in that shadow I stand
Facing towards the light
Nothing in my hands

My inner world is fragile
And the outer world is dumb
And this whole thing is such a hassle
Won't you wake me when it's done?
When it's done...
