lyrics
You will never be what you attain, or can endure
You are what you love
Dear friends, don’t you cheat yourself
When somebody come unbidden to you to show their self
When they go deeper than you’re at, don’t start freakin’ out
Don’t punish them who say hard things, no
Seek them out
Why do we bore each other with our small shit?
Squint to glimpse our pattern, but still follow it?
If knowing love is water then we’re all thirsty
At what price come peace within your family?
Holding a lantern to your life
Wondering who you were
Why’d you lie to me?
Every pain undescribed, every word unheard
Why’d you lie to me?
If we go with no knowing, will we know where we’re going?
You will never be what you attain, or can endure
You are what you love
If you’re working on blindness, I’m working on seeing
I am you, and like you, I never dream
Knowing love is water and we’re all thirsty
At what price come peace within your family?
You will never be what you attain, or can endure
You are what you love
