One-In-The-Same

A thousand miles

I've heard the story say

Love and loss and all the glory

Can be so boring

So underwhelming and plain



If hope is lost

What then is left to trust in

Cause, talk is dust

And cheap like pennies

With such confusion

It's no wonder why love and lust

Have become one-in-the-same



I read somewhere

That when love is true

Questions cease to come

Restlessness is replaced with calm

And, flowers bloom beneath winter skies



So, tell me

Why would I ever give up hoping

Why would I ever want to go through life

Knowing just how much I could've had

Cause I want love and lust to be separated by an ocean

Then swallowed up in a trench a hundred times over

So, that all I have left is hope

That love will somehow overcome

The dusty voices

That faith will somehow overturn

The swelling confusion

And separate love from its current state

From its one-in-the-same

And be so overwhelming

Lust will forget its name
