Different Pulses

My life is like a wound

I scratch so I can bleed

Regurgitate my words

I write so I can feed

And death grows like a tree

That's planted in my chest

It's roots are at my feet

I walk so it won't rest

Oh, baby, I am lost

I said, oh, baby, I am lost

I try to push the colors

Through a prism back to white

To sync our different pulses

Into a blindin' light

And if love is not the key

If love is not a key

I hope that I can find

A place where it could be

I know that in your heart there is an answer to a question

Which I'm not as yet aware that I have asked

If that tree had not drunk my tears I would have bled and cried

For all the years that I alone have let them pass

And, oh, baby, I am yours

I said, oh, baby, I am yours

Said, oh, baby, I am yours

I said, oh, baby, I am yours
