New Clear Sky - Closer Lyrics

There is one kind of silence that I cannot bear to hear
There is one look that can blind me with fear
I am sorry for causing you to cry
You are sorry, but do we even know why?

There's a river rushing deep through the canyons of my being
It flows endlessly as I rise above the heat of this confusion
Exasperated, torn and disillusioned
Every tear we cry brings us closer

The wars that we wage in the name of honesty
The fires that rage out of necessity
They all bring us closer...

I am so full of truth I am busting at the seams
Please don't spare me
As we struggle for some means of understanding
You cannot be too harsh or too demanding
Every wall we pound brings us closer
