Lyrics

I thirst, but not for water
Everything has been poured out
Nothing left but what is true
And still I’m reaching now

And they lift it to my lips
But it will not bring me life
What is given fades away
Even as I receive it

There’s a deeper kind of hunger
That nothing here can fill
We keep reaching for the surface
While the soul is standing still

Drinking shadows, calling it life
Reaching out but staying dry
Every promise fades in time
Still we take it in as life

Drinking shadows, every night
Searching for what satisfies
Only truth can make it right
Still we call it life

I receive it, I don’t turn
Even when it’s not enough
There is something deeper here
Calling past what I can touch

I see hearts that keep on reaching
For what cannot make them whole
Hands are full but still empty
Something missing in the soul

There’s a quiet kind of calling
Moving underneath it all
Not in what we keep consuming
But in what we let us fall

Drinking shadows, calling it life
Reaching out but staying dry
Every promise fades in time
Still we take it in as life

Drinking shadows, every night
Searching for what satisfies
Only truth can make it right
Still we call it life

Water remembers where it began
Water to water we return again
What is poured out is not lost
It is drawn back into the source

Water remembers, calling us home
Past what we carry, past what we’ve known
Only the current knows the way
Back to the truth we gave away

Drinking shadows, calling it life
Reaching out but staying dry
Only truth can satisfy
Still we call it life

I thirst for what is real
I thirst for what remains
When everything is stripped away
I thirst
