Virgin Guitar

I'm awake and I'm crazy, in the past I was doomed
And I can't think of anything to describe what I do
It's just the last breath, catching the next breath I suppose
My heart is aimless, this much I know

They gave me this virgin guitar, you ain't got no songs
And I've no one to sing to, but I'll keep pressing on
I ain't your first choice, you ain't my first choice, I know
But I'll be your lone voice, my darkness you'll absorb

The water is deep, child, and the river is long
And I'll lay my head here, but I won't call it home
You want a journey, I'm on a journey with no
No destination, we're on our own

Oh why do I worry, I'm supposed to be lost
Like some floating ember, at a brand new Pentecost
We need the bad things, to make the good things, I know
I hear them singing, no rain, no rose
