I am the sea on a moonless night, Calling, falling, slipping tides I am the leaky, dripping pipes The endless aching drops of light I am the raindrop falling down, Always longing for the deeper ground I am the broken, breaking seas Even my blood finds ways to bleed Even the rivers ways to run Even the rain to reach the sun Even my thirsty streams, Even in my dreams I am restless, I am restless I am restless, looking for you I am restless, I run like the ocean to find your shore I'm looking for you I am the thorn stuck in your side, I am the one that you left behind, I am the dried up doubting eyes Looking for the well that won't run dry Running hard for the other side The world that I've always been denied Running hard for the infinite With the tears of the saints and hypocrites Oh blood of black and white and gray Death and life and night and day One by one by one We let our rivers run I am restless, I am restless I am restless, looking for you I am restless, I run like the ocean to find your shore Looking for you I can hear you breathing, I can hear you leading More than just a feeling More than just a feeling I can feel you reaching Pushing through the ceiling 'til the final healing I'm looking for you Until the sea of glass we meet At last completed and complete The tide of tear and pain subside Laughter drinks them dry I'll be waiting Anticipating All that I aim for What I was made for With every heartbeat All of my blood bleeds Running inside me Looking for you I am restless, I am restless I am restless, looking for you I am restless, I run like the ocean to find your shore I'm looking for you I can feel you breathing I can feel you leading More than just a feeling More than just a feeling I can feel you reaching Pushing through the ceiling 'til the final healing I'm looking for you I'm looking for you
