The Blessing and the Curse

Get me back to the days when I felt young

When love was beautiful

Not just a touch to con

Over these years I've deadened my nerves

Friction for validation

Take me back

You are the blessing

and I am the curse

I'm ready to run like a child

away from the hell I deserve

Waiting in this darkened room

You're still fresh on my lungs

Hoping for a sign to prove I'm over the edge

Cut me from what's burnt on my eyes

Cut me away

I still wear you branded on my skin

You are the blessing

and I am the curse

I'm ready to run like a child

away from the hell I deserve

You are the garden

and I am the drought

I'm emptied over the weeks away

Too fond of this bed to see it out

Are my roots too low?

Am I drying up too fast to follow?

Have my veins run dry?

Will I ever hear your voice again

or feel your healing hand?

(Even in the storm, I can hear you now)

Cut me away from the lies that this world has fed me

(You're still there, you call be back)

Give me a sign, I still wear her branded on my skin

(Even in the storm, I can hear you now)

Show me love for what you mean't it to be

(You're still there, you call me back)

Take me back

(Even in the storm, I can hear you now)

Lest I run headfirst into my lust

(You're still there, you call me back)

and further away from any future trust
