Holy Fountain

from Lie in the Leaves by Nature & Madness

/

lyrics

what is this above us
like the way we choose to live
choking our freedom
like a wall that must give
we are all searching
for the taste of open air
but this slowly flowing water
keeps up going nowhere

what have i forsaken
have i dropped all i believe
and words cannot be spoken
that would comfort me
when i face the dark rushes
with my back against a wall
held within the clutches
of a haunting fall

like a holy fountain and it is wearing down the heart
hold to the water, do you feel this anymore?
an aching thunder rises up from the dark
we are lost between a rock and all that's hard

there is a place beneath the surface
where my longing turns to grief
and the beauty of this purpose is so hard to see
that there is a life beyond this creek bed
where a soul can finally be
lost in such an ocean
where even danger is relief

it is a rushing river in the caverns of my heart
we will toss and turn forever
and that is a good place to start

like a holy fountain and it is wearing down the heart
hold to the water, do you feel this anymore?
an aching thunder rises up from the dark
we are lost between a rock and all that's hard
