I've lived long enough to see it all

A world full of endless need and unanswered calls

A new day isn't enough to ease these thoughts

A new day isn't enough to ease these violent thoughts

And that's why I have these sleepless nights

And that's why the moon grows bigger in the sky

There is no comfort in the cratered stars

I feel no comfort under heaven's light

These endless needs, creating wounds that bleed

Cast my body upon the tired shore, where the waves crash

Cast my body upon the tired shore, where salt dries bones, where birds circle, where want finally ends
