They say it's an uphill climb
I just wanna lay down
Rest my heart, rest my mind
Come back to what is known
This is not a spell
It's a lifetime
With my luck I'll find a home right on a landmine
If absence is a crater
Then distance is a reverie
Oh I'll consume until I don't feel empty
I'm a black hole, despondency is gravity
Find a sign, reap the fruit
Pull the weeds out by the root
When will I be tethered to this body like my love for you?
Wish I could say that I'm devout
But really I'm just floating around
I'll return to renounce being down and out
If absence is a crater
Then distance is a reverie
Oh I'll consume until I don't feel empty
I'm a black hole, despondency is gravity
And on my way to the abyss
I kiss the wonder
I kiss my fists
As I drive them through the wall
And open up
I'm learning how to receive love
A vital collision
On the edge of all things
To be alive is to be seen
And I feel it now
Like I didn't then
Held by presence like it's an old friend
If absence is a crater
Then distance is a reverie
Oh I'll consume until I don't feel empty
I'm a black hole, despondency is gravity
