Adrift

You wouldn't believe me if I told you that you are true north
And in my heart there's a needle, it's always pointed at you
I'm following your light around this place, so give me grace
Oh let me savor your sweet symphony
And I'll try to remember to temper the darkness
The spark, and the longing for more

The current carries me away, another drop into the fray
She'll never release me, enraptured
And culled by the edge of the ember
Slowly surrender my soul
I'm bellowing the echo in my heart
Through the dark, fan the spark
The breath that I breathe feeds the flame in your pyre, yeah
And I'll try to embrace every texture and taste
As I chase every chance that I choose
I'll bring the fire, you bring the fuse

I was alone, adrift in the void
Drank from a well that ran dry
And I tilled the fields of ash and remains
Coughed up all my swallowed pride

And I was the martyr and you were the muse
And the world was a drop in our hands
So take what you want and I'll take what I can

I could use a friend for the night
I'm a foe to myself, front seat to the fight
Let me crumble inside you
And never see the light of day again
Could you do that for me my friend?
