Symmetry

So would you tell me now are life and death a symmetry
Balanced on scales neither side chosen
And could these moments balance out against eternity
Promise inferred words never spoken
My life is burning could you read by the light
Letters I've written never to follow
Poets and madmen all defy reason
Still in my mind I know

I want to live my life with you
Dying hard
Play my whole hand until it's through
Dying hard, dying hard, dying hard, dying hard

And in your arctic night you contemplate eternity
Walking on water frozen in silence
And in that moment would you turn around and turn to me
Laughing away night's darker tyrants
My life is burning could you read by the light
Letters I've written never to follow
Poets and madmen all defy reason
Still in my mind I know

I want to live my life with you
Dying hard
Play in my whole hand until it's through
Dying hard, dying hard, dying hard, dying hard

Some nights I spend alone inside my head
But it's better than losing it
And if you want to turn your life around
It's your life you're choosing it

I want to live my life with you
Dying hard
Play the whole hand until it's through
Dying hard, dying hard, dying hard, dying hard
