They say that these are not the best of times

+2 +2

But they're the only times I've ever known

And I believe there is a time for meditation

+2

In cathedrals of our own

+2

Now I've seen that sad surrender in my lover's eyes

And I can only stand apart and sympathize

For we are always what our situations hand us

+2

It's either sadness or euphoria

So we'll argue and we'll compromise

And realize that nothing's ever changed

For all our mutual experience

Out separate conclusions are the same.

Now we are forced to recognize our inhumanity

Our reason coexists with our insanity

And though we choose between reality and madness

It's either sadness or euphoria

+2

How thoughtlessly we dissipate our energies

Perhaps we don't fulfill each other's fantasies

And as we stand upon the ledges of our lives

+2

With our respective similarities

It's either sadness or euphoria.
