Survive


I think like Spock 

Everything must make sense 

But you can't survive on logic alone

It'll make you cold  

and you'll keep your distance

You can't survive on logic alone 

I love like Aphrodite 

I hate like Ares 

But you can't survive on emotions alone 

They will drive you mad

and they will make you weary 

You can't survive on emotions alone

There is only one thing I need 

The thing that binds the two 

To make sense of the emotion 

And bring emotion to the truth

A song in the night

A voice in sky 

the melody of a violin to make me cry 

Music unifies my world 

And without it I would not survive
