don’t lie to me
tell me something true
’cause i’m only free
when i look at You
You look so good it hurts
and Love, i come undone.
don’t paint my face
i need to see the scars
so i don’t forget
the back of my Tutor’s arm
’cause i just can’t keep it straight
which kills and which one saves
’cause the truth is i need You
just like the air i breathe
just like a freight train needs the track beneath
so i’d rather suffer my whole life and be this rich man’s wife
if loving you means suffering….
but i don’t want medication
just give me liberation
even if it cuts my legs right out from underneath
don’t give me medication
i want the real sensation
even when living feels just like death to me
–Derek Webb, i see things upside down
