Let Me Explain

Let Me Explain (from the archives) Take my heart out of this desert and lead me to the flood Help me dream again I am saying this because I am desperate I will burn my possessions for you I will cast off society and be a beggar for you I will live under a bridge for you Under all those people who aren’t dying because of your silence I’ll be the sinner and the saint Whichever you prefer You’ve already made me a coward I understand why some drink until their liver explodes I’ve often reached that depth But something always pulls me out This time it has to be you My imagination is useless without you Because I want you here, now My words are empty without you A ghost town I promise I will tell you everything about how I came to be this way How my entire life has been leading up to you Know that I am righteous My corpse will be waiting
