Being As An Ocean - The Poets Cry For More lyrics

rate me

We are all hopeless in one way or another

Whether we've lost ourselves to lust

Inflamed passions for things desired;

Forgotten the other.

Wandering aimlessly, in love with something

That will only collect dust.

Or perhaps we've been led into the wilderness

By some radiant lover, just to be left out in the cold.

A distant memory, and the warmth of home

What are we then to do?

Cause in the heat of bliss we swore we would never love another

There was truth and dignity in that oath

Can there be any hope for their retention, in its breaking?

That even while being disavowed we recognize humanity

We have all made mistakes! God, I’ve made mistakes

But my mistakes haven't made me.

Chorus:

Oh fallen acorn,

Lost and alone

Can you still be kissed by fire?

Give up your seed

And spring up into a towering, mighty OK?

We've been led into the wilderness

By some radiant lover, just to be left in the cold.

A distant memory, the warmth of home.

Cause in the heat of bliss,

We swore we would never love another!

We've all made mistakes,

Every last one of us.

And just because we've told a lie,

Can we not still grow to be honest?

Chorus:

Oh fallen acorn,

Lost and alone

Can you still be kissed by fire?

Give up your seed

And spring up into a towering, mighty OK?

Thrown off kilter

None of us would have thought

We'd be who we are now!

When we were still little

Eyes wide to possibility

Who could have known

That we'd witness such depravity
