The Centre Lyrics

I was looking for the center

To angle me and guide me through

Could it really be selfishness

Chasing remnants I thought knew

And when I'm lost

I go reaching for you

A center that I can't seem to hold

A point that only runs back to you

I went looking for shelter

To take me in

And hold me close

But was it really righteousness

To say that I'm not diseased

And when I'm lost

I go reaching for you

A center that I can't seem to hold

A point that only runs back to you

I drifted to the edges

Cut my teeth on the wires

Lifted my hands

As I stood with the liars

Burning the bush

As I put out the fires

Forsook politics

But gave space for the buyers

For a center I don't know how to hold

What we really want

What we really need

We keep searching and searching

For rest we've never seen
