lyrics

I was told many times, of flood and flame, fire and ice.
I drew dividing lines between us and them, oh you and I.
Oh sold sweet promises about how to fill the emptiness.
I was spun a thousand lines, but life don't seem so black and white.

All my kingdoms have fallen down,
I'm not lonely, I'm not the only only one.
I drink from wells dug in ancient ground,
Waters of plenty, I'm not empty yet.

I was told many times of cherubim in the heavenly heights.
I took your great advice but life is not so black and white.
Oh sold sweet promises about how to fill the emptiness.

I still love you, but differently,
I'm not holding on as though your gonna leave.
I still love you, but differently,
I'm running, I'm running but I keep following my silhouette.

I fought these thoughts with silence like the sand fights the sea.
But tidal powers triumph eventually.
Like Daniel and the lion, like Jonah in the sea.
I'm running I'm running but I keep following my silhouette.

I still love you, but differently,
I'm not holding on as though your gonna leave.
