Clay
Am I the half of half-and-half
Or am I the half that's whole?
I've got to be one with all my halves
It's my worthy earthly goal
It's my worthy earthly goal
It's my worthy earthly goal
Are you the heavy half
The lighter me
Are you the ready parked
The lighter me
Chorus:
When I came apart
I wasn't made of sand
When you fell apart
Clay crumbled in my hands
Long way a life load
Statues and haloes
Am I the half of half-and-half
Or am I the half that's whole
Am I the half that's whole
Am I the half that's whole
Are you the wrongful half
The rightful me
Are you the mongol half
Of the cerebral me
(chorus x2)
If we exercise just some control
When we exercise our sum control
Oh isn't it nice
When your heart is made out of ice
(x2)
Are you the heavy half
The lighter me
Are you the ready parked
that has entered me
Am I the "tial" in po-ten-tial
Or am I the "suc" in "cess"
bruise and delusion
Deluge me
Am I the more or less (3x)
When I came apart
I wasn't made of sand
When you fell apart
Clay crumbled in my hands
When I came apart
I wasn't made of sand
When I was the Cain
You were the Abel
When I came apart
Clay crumbled in my hands
