Carbon Dioxide Lyrics

Oh where were You that night?

When the soul descended into a place with no escape

I said I would not leave

Even though You had seemingly fled the scene

I still cried Your name in the valley of death

But You did not bring any comfort or help

In the absence of all peace

I quote that passage where You transcend everything

But the peace did not come

So they sedated me with synthetic rest

And I fell asleep while the world got dressed

Closed my eyes as the party went wild

Still I breathe into the mystery of You

As carbon dioxide leaves me and keep me

On my back, on my feet, on my face as I keep pleading

Come back, come back, come back to me

The silence comes

No voice, no hunch, no sound

Is that how you move around?

So you do no overwhelm?

But I need your touch

But I need your touch

Stretching out my hand I imagine it reaches

The hem of our coat

As you ask who touched me?

It was I

I had that much faith
