butterfly effect

A butterfly flies through the forest rain
And turns the wind into a hurricane
I know that it will happen
'Cause I believe in the certainty of chance

A schoolboy yawns, sits back and hits return
While round the world computers crash and burn
I know that it will happen
'Cause I believe in the certainty of chance

And I believe
I can see it all so clearly now
You must go and I must set you free
'Cause only that will bring you back to me
I know that it will happen
Because I believe in the certainty of chance

Sometimes at night the darkness and silence weighs on me.
Peace frightens me.
Perhaps I fear it most of all.
I feel it's only a facade, hiding the face of hell.
I think of what's in store for me tomorrow;

"It will all be ok",
they say; but from whose viewpoint?
We need to live in a state of suspended animation,
like a work of art;
in a state of enchantment...detached. Detached.
