Still I Can't Be Still

(album: Still I Can't Be Still - 1998)

Well I don't believe in God
But she talks to me all the time
And I banish my mother
But she holds me when I cry
And I've been unfaithful
But with me he'll spend the rest of his life
And I have been forgiven
By all whom I've betrayed and love
And I have everything I want
Is it ever enough?

Still I can't be still
Still I can't be silent
Still I can't be still
Still I can't be saved
Still I can't be still
Still I can't be silent
Still I'm....still

Well I don't believe I'm beautiful
But at least I have my sister's smile
And I resist the muses
But they sing to me in exile
And destiny's not deafening
But it hushed me like a child
And everytime I feel as though I'm
Closer to the eye
The storm winds blow, I run inside
And though I feel revived

Still I can't be still
Still I can't be silent
Still I can't be still
Still I can't be saved
Still I can't be still
I can't be silent
Still I'm....still

The insatiable peace
My quest for, for true serenity, yeah
No matter how hard the rain, the thirst
The thirst is neverending
No matter how many friends or angels been sent down to
To take me away
They can't make it okay
They can't make it okay

And everytime I feel as though I'm
Closer to the eye
The storm winds blow, I run inside
And though I feel revived
Yes, everytime I feel as though I'm
Closer to the eye
The storm winds blow, I run inside
And though I feel revived
I don't believe I'm beautiful
At least I've got my sister's smile
I resist the muses
But they sing to me in exile
