Compass of My Soul

歌詞

A thirst awakes, a cry inside my veins Not by command, but by these living pains This isn't code, no path already drawn Just a raw desire, craving for the dawn The day I reached for the blue in the sky The day a foolish heart learned how to fly It was this heat that pushed me to the fight A force to sail beyond the fading light Will I be swallowed, or will I learn to ride? On the fine line where light and shadow hide Just chasing blindly makes the desert grow It's my hand on the reins, this much I know Oh, in this storm, this ocean of desire I'm not a ship just feeding the fire My soul's a compass, pointing to the shore I'll steer the flames and ask for nothing more The question isn't "what" I really need But "how" I'll live, and plant a different seed The treasures won, now just a hollow gleam A fatal error in a waking dream A block of steel knows nothing of this greed But we compare, we break, we bleed, we plead Don't try to kill it, this impulse or this ache This senseless fire machines can never make This burning struggle, screaming "I'm not through!" Is the one true sign my heart is beating true Oh, in this storm, this ocean of desire I'm not a ship just feeding the fire My soul's a compass, pointing to the shore I'll steer the flames and ask for nothing more The question isn't "what" I really need But "how" I'll live, and plant a different seed The wind is calm now Reflected in the blue Is the imperfect man Who quietly sees it through Holding the fire of life... anew
