Sustenance

I was lost but now I'm found
Where the milk and honey drips down
I was dead but now I'm alive
Like a soft sunrise
I climbed to higher ground
I saw my city in an dirty green cloud
It takes time to purify
Our precious skies
I still get nervous when you're next to me
I wear my heart and my soul on my sleeve
And I want to tame that wild look in your eyes
'cause it won't sit still and it won't subside
My friends are all on drugs
Or maybe they are all the sober ones
Oh God, am I just like my old man?
Is it too late to make amends?
I still get nervous when you're next to me
I wear my heart and my soul on my sleeve
And I want to tame that wild look in your eyes
'cause it won't sit still and it won't subside
In a perfect world where everything is whole
You won't find any beauty complexity or soul
I'll marvel at the refuse in the undertow
Knowing that it someday will be hallowed
'cause sticks and stones are all I've ever known
And I found God on the most treacherous road
I've had my fill in famine
I've found shelter in the snow
I've come a long way
I think it's safe to say
Your love is not a drug
It's not like those other ones
Your love is not a drug
It's my sustenance
Your love is not a drug
It's not like those other ones
Your love is not a drug
It's my sustenance
Your love
What good is that first great leap into death
If you do not hurl yourself freely
Through the torn veil back into life
Free is truly rare, noble company who gives up a deep desire
But greater is he who holds fast to what he lost
After having gained it again
With only love and affection
Constance
