White Nile

Careful now, you've come too close

To know the where and when of your unholy ghost

And even though we are made of dust

A sliver of gold is inside each of us

I am captive high on a daily basis

The amount I can't control the way

I understand your many faces

I lose the sense of what you mean to me

Because I know you are the one who can save me

With eyes aged along with history

I can't pretend that something else would convey me

To live one day without the thought of you and me

Carry on through the night

It's a mess we've made too many times

I spend my days avoiding light

Lose my view of what you mean to me

Careful now, you've come too close

To know the where and when of your unholy ghost

And even though we are made of dust

A sliver of gold is inside each of us

So put your weight on top of it

Lay into moments that you compliment

Fragile feasting lion

Taking a bite of what he never tasted

Yet he never feared

Sermons of an anchor

It's such a delicate race

I promised my mother

I would end in a righteous place

So put your weight on top of it
