CENTER OF THE X Video (MV)

Sign your name when you come in
Get some rest your life begins
You're writhing as you start to face the questions
The Center of the X your main connection
Bend yourself with holy words you took from books seeking direction

Against the meetings of the tides
When lips and foam and blue collide
Answers always run and hide
To hell with explanations
Life has unforeseen under little stones fragile complications

In the Center of the X
You've arrived and life is next
The cross you stand in is not the end
It's the place
The place you should begin
The place you should begin

Wear the mask of stable love
But all the while this precious dove
Is cooing with its neck and wings quite broken
And feathers look the same when desperate
You're smug with satisfaction grinning at me naked as I sweat

In the Center of the X
You've arrived and life is next
The cross you stand in is not the end
It's the place
The place you should begin
The place you should begin

Growing up in spotless rooms
You write your songs and you pay your dues
The diamonds that I wished for have new meaning
The diamonds that I wished for have new meaning
Set it all ablaze and you'll be free
Set it all ablaze and you'll be free
Set it all ablaze
And you'll be
Free

It's the place you should begin
It's the place you should begin
It's the place you should begin
It's the place

The X is where choices join
The place where love and hatred's coined
The point at which your heart is burned or worshipped

The X just keeps me thinking
Simple truths after you have hung yourself
Are the ones worth keeping
