Lyrics
Desire
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Lying on the floor, the world carries on
Life does not wait for me
Trying to pretend that I was
Everything you believed
Drowning in my own desire
All your needs fail to inspire
Miles of vacant years run through my mind
Like headlights through the night
And oceans have their ways
Of getting between what I feel should be
Drowning in my own desire
All your needs fail to inspire
It's not over, it's not crashing down
What's the game, what's the prize?
And one moment of belief
Disturbs the quiet dream for you
When poetic moments
Aren't all they seem
Then reality becomes
The dream
Drowning in my own desire
All your needs fail to inspire
Drowning in my own desire
All your needs fail to inspire
