Restless

Album: Vice Verses (2011)

  • I am the sea on a moonless night,
    Calling, falling, slipping tides
    I am the leaky, dripping pipes
    The endless aching drops of light
    I am the raindrop falling down,
    Always longing for the deeper ground
    I am the broken, breaking seas
    Even my blood finds ways to bleed

    Even the rivers ways to run
    Even the rain to reach the sun
    Even my thirsty streams,
    Even in my dreams

    I am restless, I am restless
    I am restless, looking for you
    I am restless, I run like the ocean to find your shore
    I'm looking for you

    I am the thorn stuck in your side,
    I am the one that you left behind,
    I am the dried up doubting eyes
    Looking for the well that won't run dry

    Running hard for the other side
    The world that I've always been denied
    Running hard for the infinite
    With the tears of the saints and hypocrites

    Oh blood of black and white and gray
    Death and life and night and day
    One by one by one
    We let our rivers run

    I am restless, I am restless
    I am restless, looking for you
    I am restless, I run like the ocean to find your shore
    Looking for you

    I can hear you breathing,
    I can hear you leading
    More than just a feeling
    More than just a feeling
    I can feel you reaching
    Pushing through the ceiling
    'til the final healing
    I'm looking for you

    Until the sea of glass we meet
    At last completed and complete
    The tide of tear and pain subside
    Laughter drinks them dry

    I'll be waiting
    Anticipating
    All that I aim for
    What I was made for
    With every heartbeat
    All of my blood bleeds
    Running inside me
    Looking for you

    I am restless, I am restless
    I am restless, looking for you
    I am restless, I run like the ocean to find your shore
    I'm looking for you

    I can feel you breathing
    I can feel you leading
    More than just a feeling
    More than just a feeling
    I can feel you reaching
    Pushing through the ceiling
    'til the final healing
    I'm looking for you
    I'm looking for you Writer/s: JON FOREMAN
