The Virtue of Emotion

[The Virtue of Emotion] [ Verse 1: Male Vocals ] The rust on the iron where paint used to shine. We stare at the park through the thick tangled vine. The booth is a skeleton, empty and cold. A happy yesterday where the secrets were told. [ Chorus 1: Male and Female Duet ] Emotional feelings move just like the tide. Sadness and happiness both on this ride. We search for the center, we stay on the track. There’s no looking forward and no looking back. [ Verse 2: Female Vocals ] The grey on the floor and the rain at the door. A calendar page that we cannot ignore. That happy yesterday, sad today, fast. The ticking of clocks makes the heavy clouds last. [ Chorus 2: Male and Female Duet ] Emotional feelings move just like the tide. Sadness and happiness both on this ride. We search for the center, we stay on the track. There’s no looking forward and no looking back. [ Bridge 1: Male and Female Duet ] The horses stop moving, the music is still. The circle is broken by force of our will. Haapiness is the merry-go-round of emotion. We see that happiness is also the virtue of the notion. [ Verse 3: Male Vocals ] The dust and the sunbeams and shattered old dreams. We pull back the curtain on silent extremes. To clear out the Sadness and words left unsaid. The heavy red velvet is finally spread. [ Chorus 3: Male and Female Duet ] Emotional feelings move just like the tide. Sadness and happiness both on this ride. We search for the center, we stay on the track. There’s no looking forward and no looking back. [ Bridge 2: Male and Female Duet ] The horses stop moving, the music is still. The circle is broken by force of our will. Haapiness is the merry-go-round of emotion. We see that happiness is also the virtue of the notion. [ Verse 4: Female Vocals ] We're Sad in the night while the hot sparks are stark. A happy reflection of blue and gold marks. This happiness burns like a candle of old. A story of silver that’s turning to gold. [ Final Chorus: Male and Female Duet ] Emotional feelings are all that we own. The seeds of our Sadness have finally grown. We ride in the center, we stay on the track. The light’s in the front and there's no looking back. [ Outro: Male and Female Duet ] The ride is now done. The virtue is clear. The spinning of shadows will soon disappear. Happiness is the virtue of emotion.
