They say You live in hospitals and trenches 

And towers in the sky 

And I'm not dying or fighting any wars 

Except on the inside 



The only thing I need is a void that You can fill 

And I jump ship and run even further in Your will 



And I am looking for the well that won't run dry 

The rest that weary thoughts cannot deny 

When You wrap Your arms around me 

I can walk away or face the emptiest day 



The words I find impossible to mention 

Are written on a star 

They say that I can find You in a flower 

But I need You in the car 



The optimism of my youth is dead and gone 

But I'll save these speculations for another time and song 



And life is only perceived through chemicals and emotion 

But love, love is the island that overgrows the ocean
