"White Nile" lyrics

Careful now, you've come too close
to know the where and when of your unholy ghost
And even though we are made of dust
A sliver of gold is inside each of us

I am captive high on a daily basis
The amount I can't control the way
I understand your many faces
I lose the sense of what you mean to me

Because I know you are the one who can save me
With eyes aged along with history
I can't pretend that something else would convey me
To live one day without the thought of you and me

Carry on through the night
It's a mess we've made too many times
I spend my days avoiding light
Lose my view of what you mean to me

Careful now, you've come too close
to know the where and when of your unholy ghost
And even though we are made of dust
A sliver of gold is inside each of us

So put your weight on top of it
Lay into moments that you compliment
Fragile feasting lion
Taking a bite of what he never tasted
Yet he never feared

Sermons of an anchor
It's such a delicate race
I promised my mother
I would end in a righteous place

So put your weight on top of it
