Don’t you just love it when you hear a song that you haven’t heard in ages, but as soon as you hear it, you remember how much you loved it?
Listen to this, and read the lyrics:
I call to you
With one lung exploded
From breathing the dust of the earth
With my tongue eroded
From licking the crust of the earth
A tear away from reconciled
A prayer away from whole
Restore my soul…
I cry to you
With two eardrums blistered
From laughing with preachers of night
With my vertebrae twisted
From dancing with creatures of night
A day away from sanctified
A breath away from whole
Restore my soul…
I crawl to you
With ten fingers smoking
From turning the pages of sin
With my spirit choking
From earning the wages of sin
A bridge away from justified
A step away from whole
Restore my soul…
Man…pure poetry. I love, love, love the words to this song. Maybe because I’ve been there so many times…
