My Old Addiction |
My old addiction |
Changed the wiring in my brain |
So that when it turns the switches |
Then I am not the same |
So like the flowers toward the Sun |
I will follow |
Stretch myself out thin |
Like there’s a part of me that’s already buried |
That sends me out into this wind |
My old addiction |
Is a flood upon the land |
This tiny lifeboat can keep me dry |
But my weight is all that it can stand |
So when I try to lean just a little |
For just a splash to cool my face |
Ahh that trickle turns out fickle |
Fills my boat up five miles deep |
My old addiction |
Makes me crave only what is best |
Like these just this morning song birds |
Craving upward from the nest |
These tiny birds outside my window |
Take my hand to be their mom |
These open mouths would trust and swallow |
Anything that came along |
Like my old addiction |
Now the other side of Day |
As the springtime of my lifestyle |
Turns the other way |
If a swan can have a song |
I think I know that tune |
But the page is only scrawled |
And I am gone this afternoon |
But the page is only scrawled |
And I am gone this afternoon |
