They say You live in hospitals and trenches

And towers in the sky

And I'm not dying or fighting any wars

Except on the inside



The only thing I need is a void that You can fill

And I jump ship and run even further in Your will



And I am looking for the well that won't run dry

The rest that weary thoughts cannot deny

When You wrap Your arms around me

I can walk away or face the emptiest day



The words I find impossible to mention

Are written on a star

They say that I can find You in a flower

But I need You in the car



The optimism of my youth is dead and gone

But I'll save these speculations for another time and song



And life is only perceived through chemicals and emotion

But love, love is the island that overgrows the ocean
