Phase 4: Unification
guitar chords lyrics
I feel his shadow looming over me
Leaving me defeated and confused
His eyes still haunt me, if only I'd done more
Maybe I gave up on him too soon…
I share your sorrow, but we are not to blame
His heart has always been a mystery
We'll never fathom, we'll never understand
Did he ever need us, were we real
Or mere reflections in a mirror of dreams?
What holds his future, how will he survive?
Without us to save him from himself
Where has he run to, will he return?
I hope he knows I wish him well
It's up to him now, there's nothing we can do
I fear we cannot give him what he needs
I hope he knows I wish him well
It's up to him now, there's nothing we can do
I fear we cannot give him what he needs
Are we but phantoms inside his tangled mind?
Will he ever need us, are we real…
Ore mere reflections in a mirror of dreams?
It's time to put things in perspective
Find your way again
Let me take you to the lighthouse
Where you can hide away
I only want to be alone
To work the numbers on my own
I need to show my father
I need to show them all… I am the one
Your time has come
To unlock the equation
The Theory of Everything
If you're troubled by the visions
The chaos in your mind
If the voices start to whisper
Call me, day or night!
Don't worry, I'll be fine
Don't underestimate the danger
I'm gonna make the theory shine
You'll regret it sooner or later
I need to show my father
I need to show them all… I am the one
Our time has come
I will find the equation
The Theory of Everything
Without him it's all over
We've got to bring him home again
He doesn't want to see you
Can't you get that through your head?
But you can make him listen
All I need is one more chance
No! I can't take any more
You never gave a damn!
And so it ends
It's time to let go
My spirit is crushed
Forsaken and cold
I'm leaving you
No tears left to cry
You'll never change
I've made up my mind
This is goodbye
So this is the end
How can I go on?
My dream's unfulfilled
And now I'm alone
I let them down
I pushed them away
No reason to live
I'm ending this pain
There's no other way
Only one thing left to do…
I'm down here on my knees
Feeling the weight of shame
How could I have done this
To you, my son?
I can't believe my eyes
Is it really you?
Why should I forgive you
After all you've done?
I was driven and blind
Not so unlike yourself
We can still work together
If you allow me
Why should I give you a chance?
Why should I trust you now?
Ha… I bet you are helpless
Without me
If we join our minds
Then together we can do this
We both want to be the first
We both want to change the world
We can work all night
'Til we find out what the truth is
We'll solve this mystery
Be a part of history
I'm so damn close
I'll fill in the blanks
I could use a hand
Just give me this chance
For we're on the verge of a breakthrough
The meds help me not to sleep
It's too late to stop now
I'll take just a few more
Just 'til the answer is found
We can make it,
We'll find the truth
Let's join our minds
It's our destiny to do this
We're going to be the first
We're going to change the world
We'll work all night
'Til we find out what the truth is
We both know we'll never sleep
'Til we make this quantum leap
We are in this way too deep
Isolate the graviton
Verify the Higgs-Boson
Photons, hadrons
Gluons, fermions
Demonstrate the tachyon
Find the missing baryons
Neutrons, protons
Nucleons, electrons
Ride a wave of gravity
Unravel super symmetry
Position x, sparticles
Momentum p, dark energy
Einstein's relativity
Meets Heisenberg's uncertainty
Causality, eternity
Singularity, infinity!
Eureka! We found it, we broke it
Eureka! We solved it, we did it!
Eureka! We made it, we cracked it
Eureka! We nailed it, we got it!
Dear friend, my work here is done
Science has evolved
As the sun set on father and son
The mystery was solved
I'm broken, I'm falling apart
Slowly fading away
I'm sorry… I took it all too far
Thank you for… your faith…
His mind took flight
And his eyes have lost their light
All we have to go on is a note
They changed the world last night
Working together, side by side
His father is the only one who knows
You haven't been told?
That was his mother on the phone
There was a tragedy last night
His father can't have been here
It had to be a ghostly dream
For at the fall of day he took his life!
They were seduced by the mystery
Something forbidden was uncovered here
My husband
My love
My son
All lost
Our world is not ready to know
The Theory of Everything
We need a future to build
A new role to fulfil
We've got something to give
We'll find a reason to live
Will we ever understand
How two different hand styles
Came to grace this blackboard
What unseen forces did conspire
Uniting a father
And… his son…
