Begin And End Lyrics - Theatre Of Tragedy

Don't know inside from upside-down 

We praise the famed unwittingly 

If we had read that we are but illiterate 

What would we do? 

Keep inventory of things that we do not owe 

Even at a standstill we are spinning round and round 

We're lost but found 

Nowhere is right here 

Talk to us long enough and you will be perplexed 

Begin and end 

We talked in a language that we didn't understand 

Hiding things that were obscure while the people are searching 

Leaving our lives, staying in the same location 

Proving me to you, proving you to me 

Looking at pictures of people we do not know 

A first preview of something we have seen before 

A host of one tracing the invisible 

We danced side by side to a different monotone 

We practised our stargaze every day in the daylight 

A plan with no abstract outlined in the concrete 

A man opposite us is out-of-sight and unknown 

Never far nor all too near
