Derek Webb - Pressing On The Bruise Lyrics
how can you live two liveswhen both are asking all of youone, you don't want but wants you backone, takes your breath in its pursuityou're aiming for the needle's eyeyou're pressing hard against the glassa pioneer with a pale faceyou want her just so badso you're all wrapped up in wiressquinting eyes for a way throughchit's the longest night of your whole lifeno horizon where there is no skyon the longest night of your whole lifeno dawn coming till your longing has a nametill you find a wayyour mind is twisting like a snakelooking for just the right commandit starts to whisper to your heartthoughts of a truly modern manshe's passing notes under the dooryou feel her body start to moveit's like she's making up your mindit's like she's pressing on the bruisepre/chbridgethe thing itself seems logicalthe execution impossiblethe attempt irresponsiblethe affect irreversibleif you do it rightthe eyes are shutting downyour body spiritlessa sudden blinding flash of lightoh god, here itoh god, here she is
