lyrics

It's in a child's incessant cry
and the rasp of the elderly
In footfalls reminding why
shadows that won't float free

Don't know if you'll see it
Or if it will find you first
It doesn't easily tire out
Knows neither hunger nor thirst

It's in the things you miss
Tingling at awareness' edge
The innocent eye, the guilty kiss
A broken vow, forgotten pledge

So when desire encounters consequence
and needs a little taste just to make sense
but touch and feel and smell only incense
whose fault can it be if you're still left tense?
