I Cannot Live With You
I had lost
My sense of worth
I, who shall
Inherit earth
I cannot live with you
That would be life
And life is over there
It's behind the bookshelf
Out of arm's reach
And detained by the dust mites
I had lost
My sense of worth
I, who shall
Inherit earth
Nor could I rise with you
Suffer your brightness
It outshone Jesus
It outshone my mother
Saturated sight and blanked solid colour
I had lost
My sense of worth
I, who shall
Inherit earth
I once believed in things
More than just you
But that white light’s a difficult
Thing to subdue
I had lost
My sense of worth
I, who shall
Inherit earth
