  • Holy life that you liken to nothing bursts at the seams
    All the while stem the tide, I have seen it in my dreams
    Here a fount in the desert, it was more than I could be
    Human life as a lesson, you will see the mess of me

    Hear it there, feel it swarming underneath
    Oh, when love came for me, the blue and salton sea
    A thousand lives lived in circles, a planet burning at the seams
    Skeletal sand as a lesson that became an offering

    River nigh, river light, sent us burning out to sea
    Holy love, if you let it, never wanted it to be
    You and I, you, a lesson, but never offered it to me
    Human life gone wild, it was not enough for me

    You and I, you and I won't grow
    You and I, in our wild, won't listen
    It was rife, it was rife with unholy offerings
    It was rife, it was rife with the flowers of deceit Lyrics licensed and provided by LyricFind
