The Centre

from Penumbra by Samuel Joseph Kim

/

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
