Farewell to Juliet

Ex Nihilo

Want

(Hansen)

Speak another truth
searing and enraging
anything I'll do
If you speak another truth

Heal another wound
and I'll do anything
anything but wonder why
If you heal another wound

I draw a border
and dare you to cross
You hand me everything
I consider it loss
I draw a border
and dare you to a cross

Still I want more

Calm another sea
tossing and churning
doubts to lie forever still
If you calm another sea

Hold another nail
piercing and unyielding
and I'll believe you're real
If you hold another nail

Cover one more sin
damning and enslaving
I take my only breath
When you cover one more sin

I draw a border
and dare you to cross
You hand me everything
I consider it loss
I draw another border
and dare you to a cross

Still I want more

And if I were to ask
about seventy times eight
Somehow you'll hold me
Somehow you'll wait
I give you my essence
Hands, breath, time, strength
Save only the questions

And still -- you want more
