lyrics

When the equation was in perfect balance
Our center of mass was love
In equivalent measure we partook of that chalice
In egalitarian sums: (1 + 1 = 1)

I defined myself through you
Clear as my own reflection
But standard deviations
Refracted imperfections

We were the essence of the quintessential
Balanced emotional equation
Teetering on the proverbial edge
We redefined elation

Subservient to none but each other we learned to fly

I had tried to impress upon you
The fact that things were going wrong
Diverging, I confess to you
I was never that strong
Never that strong

A part of me was masking the fact that
I knew you were falling away
A part of you was basking in that
Radiant love as I bled away

Flowing in parallel streams
Entwined in perfect union
But the pattern frayed between the seams
Broken COMMUNION

We frolicked existential hard core elated solipsism
We demarcated quintessential virtual immersive duality

Orbits in decay
You are spiraling away
Our tapestry has frayed
Unraveled and splayed

Decision through inaction
We’ve broken symmetry
A contemptuous reaction
This, our final travesty

Some things are intrinsic and irrevocable
Some things we could have changed
Not the first time but the last time
We lost our way

I was pleading fervently
To balance this tumultuous equation
The scales are wavering precariously
Trending toward emotive devastation

Our World Lines diverge asymptotically
We are forever breaking symmetry
Broken Symmetry

Pardon me for asking
What more could you derive from me?

Despite our bouts of passion
We’re breaking symmetry
