Lyrics
Aimless 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.
I was working shift on the six o'clock, quiet in the pale dawn
Found a bird caught in the machinery
Set it free and watched it go
Quit the job that very day, and flew into the sky
Just following after this aimless desire
This awful desire, this worthless desire
Now I've found causes and I've found families
But nothing ever lasts
I've known people I'd die for
If only they had asked
Where I'm from is not my home
And neither's where I'm bound
Just following after this aimless desire
Worthless desire
So tonight beneath the bridge where the fires burn
God, take the freedom back
Deliver me from the aimless desire
The worthless desire
And chimera she waits
And I have still got this hole in me
Still got this hole inside of me
