Apogee - To Keep The Balance lyrics

After all there's no heaven without hell - no beauty without strangeness in all we feel balance will allow to make a deal The human mind - an ambiguous kind - evolving out of niches full of constraints - evolutionary chains - inside Minds decoupled from original sense equipped with instincts which could not keep pace beyond reason - beyond control out of reach forevermore Caught between these two extremes it's just a plaything out of natures magic trick pack the apprentice - trapped in a cage to learn the lessons of life's contradictory rage Structures close to perfect symmetry - a universal soundness in eternal and aesthetic quality seems to be all we conceive approaching still the ultimate ideal - by looking ever closer finally - as humans - we will fail to reach our goal Minds decoupled from original sense equipped with instincts which could not keep pace beyond reason beyond control out of reach forevermore Caught between these two extremes it's just a plaything out of natures magic trick pack the apprentice - trapped in a cage to learn the lessons of life's contradictory rage And still we're moving 'round in circles of our own in full consciousness but helpless still to interfere Even the righteous human mind won't go for the straight, the plain answers to complicated questions even if they're sharp and clear still we are searching for more still feel the need to ensure there's something more beyond the core A certain portion of the whole must still be unsure deep in our memory - reflecting ancient traces left in hidden corners where once ramification occurred gradually amplified by emotional feedback on all our goals The narrow line between the zones of beauty and of hideous - we feel rational - emotional - completely individual - so real shall we take the average and equalise the edges to ensure compatibility to each and everything we see and feel? The vision of a brave new world where everything is made to fit the scheme shall we proceed our exercise in modelling our perfect world - our dream? where in the end our instincts are dictating our minds to look for innocence and beauty with the charm of unforeseeable surprise And still we're moving 'round in circles of our own in full consciousness but helpless still to interfere The basic pre-conditions of our game catch up with us now showing our limited physical instalments source of all our hopes and fears searching for comfortable zones promising pleasure and joy - we're damned to seek whatever we may find Even the righteous human mind won't go for the straight the plain answers to complicated questions even if they're sharp and clear still we are searching for more still feel the need to ensure there's something more beyond the core In contradiction we are left to try (a thousand options) a thousand options still we must decide (to keep the balance) to keep the balance in between our ties (intuitively) intuitively trying to justify
