lyrics

When ideas and thoughts are twisted so tight
It's mission to see the wrong from the right
When there's no correct way to proceed on your route
When the haste's all you got with you on your pursuit

Oh! Take it apart, using your heart
Go back to the start and take it apart yeah

'Cause it's all in a mess from the morn to the eve
And as thick as the trunk with the rings that you read
In a forest as dark as your thoughts that prevail
And it seems that your hopes all proceed like a snail

Oh! Take it apart, using your heart
Go back to the start and take it apart man

So all pieces are scattered around on the floor
And you don't think that you can produce anymore
And the puzzle's so far from it being complete...
(I got no idea what's going on)

Oh! Take it apart, using your heart
Go back to the start and take it apart yeah

So you lost and you crossed
Into full on despair
But then one of the pieces
Floats up in the air
The bricks of your life
Cause a storm in the sand
And they all fit together
And land in your hand
