I've Been A Mess

Lazarus wasn’t grateful for his second wind

For another chance

watch his chances fade like the dawn and leave

I can barely tell you just how pale I get

Without you

I’ve been a mess since you’ve been gone

What were the first words that crowd heard him speak

I bet he was cursing at the sky

I bet he wasn’t turning no other cheek

And was there still hope and desire left in his heart

For the last word in love

I’ve been a mess since you’ve been gone

Your beauty is just a slap in the face

That’s gonna bring me back to life

Back to another sky that’s blue

It’s gonna turn me into another great American zombie

So hungry for you

I’ve been a mess since you’ve been gone
