read between the lines
the insomniac i just came back from a really long journey and am very tired. yet i cannot go to sleep again. i just cannot. i feel dissatisfied and that is what keeps me up. so i traverse through the online landscape, looking for some semblance of pleasure, the hedonist that i am.but i find nothing really lasting; if anything, i find a lot of things stinging. there are a lot of things i don't want to think about, things i want to avoid, but one way or another these things always find me. i know i'm supposed to run to god, to spend time with Him and hide in His Word. but i don't want to, even though i know the answer lies there. it's the same old story. Driftwood by TRAVIS Everything is open Nothing is set in stone Rivers turn to ocean Oceans tide you home Home is where your heart is But your heart had to roam Drifting over bridges Never to return Watching bridges burn You’re driftwood, floating underwater Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces Just driftwood, hollow and of no use Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you Nobody is an island Everyone has to go Pillars turn to butter Butterflying low Low is where your heart is But your heart has to grow Drifting under bridges Never with the flow And you really didn’t think it would happen But it really is the end of the line So I’m sorry that you turned to driftwood But you’ve been drifting for a long, long time Everywhere there’s trouble Nowhere’s safe to go Pushes turn to shovels Shovelling the snow Frozen, you have chosen The path you wish to go Drifting now forever And forever more Until you reach your shore You’re driftwood, floating underwater Breaking into pieces, pieces, pieces Just driftwood hollow, and of no use Waterfalls will find you, bind you, grind you And you really didn’t think it would happen But it really is the end of the line So I’m sorry that you turned to driftwood But you’ve been drifting for a long, long time You’ve been drifting for a long, long time You’ve been drifting for a long, long Drifting for a long, long time |
