(In which a mathematical genius contemplates his failure to understand the humans around him)
(Electric Piano Intro)
Drifting through a crowd of empty souls
I am but a breath invisible
Their faces change but I don't know what it means
Their laughter and tears, a foreign language to me
(Violin Solo)
If I could make you understand the universe within my hand
Would you stay by my side?
If you could see inside my mind, would you fear the myriad things you find
Would you run from me?
(Violin / Double Bass Solo)
Please don't think my words to be unkind
When I speak of things so far beyond your grasp
Though I probe the mind of God and His creation
I'd relinquish all for normality with you
(Violin Solo)
If I could make you understand the universe within my hand
Would you stay by my side?
If you could see inside my mind, would you fear the myriad things you find
Would you run from me?
The mysteries of the stars are mine
The fabric of space, the ripples of time
But finding the words to describe the beat of my heart
When thoughts of you enter my mind is a step too far
