| My reaction, my response
|
| I’m a function in need of x
|
| Ask me questions and I reply
|
| I’m never first, but I’m always next
|
| And we stare in our eyes
|
| Never blinking and going dry
|
| Do you care more than I
|
| Who will get the last word?
|
| And if we trace back the time
|
| Who came up with the first line?
|
| In any case, it’s not mine
|
| Because these days I can only react
|
| I’ll never speak without your lead
|
| I’m your shadow, I react
|
| I’ll be the gear between your teeth
|
| When you’re spinning, I react
|
| You are the neutron at light speed
|
| Spring me open, I react
|
| But can I find the zero point I need?
|
| Can I change it all and then take it back?
|
| It’s so easy to shrink an inch
|
| Or is this room growing even more?
|
| And it’s so easy to light a match
|
| When you’ve been burned once or twice before
|
| And when I swing blind in rage
|
| I’m in search of the first page
|
| And when I sing from the stage
|
| Who will get the last word?
|
| You’re the one who creates
|
| All to which I retaliate
|
| But can I ever navigate
|
| Another path than to react?
|
| I’ll never speak without your lead
|
| I’m your shadow, I react
|
| I’ll be the gear between your teeth
|
| When you’re spinning, I react
|
| You are the neutron at light speed
|
| Spring me open, I react
|
| But can I find the zero point I need?
|
| Can I change it all and then take it back?
|
| I’ll find where aggression hides away
|
| Where my own two hands hold sway
|
| It’s a bright and beautiful new day
|
| I will act, I will act
|
| Your reaction, your relapse
|
| Out of love will grow, collapse
|
| Something somewhere finally snaps
|
| And I will act, I will act
|
| I’ll never speak without your lead
|
| I’m your shadow, I react
|
| I’ll be the gear between your teeth
|
| When you’re spinning, I react
|
| You are the neutron at light speed
|
| Spring me open, I react
|
| But can I find the zero point I need?
|
| Can I change it all and then take it back? |
