lyrics

I am the desert, you are a glass of water
I am unwanting, you are desire’s daughter
I am the haunting, you are a cheap imposter

I am unbending, you are a copper wire
I am unending, you are the passing time
I am the message, you are a tired runner

Oh was my first mistake to let you in and seal our fate
I was a wisher then, I always loved, I always have been
What they took me for when I was waiting at your door
I was a goner then, I always loved, I always have been

I always have been
I always have been
I always have been

I am the first day, you are a ticking clock
I am the mountain, you are a hollow log
I am the bottom, you are an empty bottle

Oh let them wander in, convince them they are filled with sin
Drain fast the wishing well, and pull them deeper into your hell
Was my first mistake to let you in and seal our fate
I was a goner then, I always loved, I always have been

I always have been
I always have been
I always have been

Oh was my first mistake to let you in and seal our fate
I was a wisher then, I always loved, I always have been
What they took me for when I was waiting at your door
I was a goner then, I always loved, I always have been

I always have been
I always have been
I always have been
