iLiKETRAiNS - Desire is a Mess Lyrics

Desire Is A Mess

Move into the light
I know exactly what you've done
I am your only hope
I am the inquisition
I am my mother's son
I will walk you through it slowly
I will show you how I roll
I was prepared to turn a blind eye
I was prepared to let it go
But then I saw you in the river
Wading out beyond the reeds
Shouting I won't let this pathetic slip of a man get the better of me

How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?

I've been making a purse from this sow's ear
For as long as I can remember
And I've been interrupted
More times than I would care to mention
Why am I not surprised?
Why am I not surprised by the breadth of the problem?
Why am I not surprised by the scope of the problem?
Well there's something to be said, for the cold hard truth
Does it put your mind at rest?
Does it set your teeth on edge?
I am not at my best
I am not at my best
When I'm presented with the facts
Does it set your teeth on edge?
Both of us know
That desire is a mess
I am not at liberty to discuss this
I am not at liberty to discuss this
Both of us know
I am not at my best
I am not at liberty to discuss this
I am not so easily led

How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?
How do you sleep at night?
I am not done
I am not done
Writ large on the back of my hand
I am not done yet
