Drifter Lyrics by Heartsounds

Drifter

2011

[Intro: Ben Murray & Laura Nichol]
This is a spiritual decline
An affliction of the heart, a possession of the mind
(A welcomed collapse of my head held high)
You see, these days and weeks of futile breath
Have worn me down so that there's nothing left
And inspiration only fails me, only fails me time and time again
(Time and time again)

[Chorus: Ben Murray with Laura Nichol]
No, it shouldn't take a miracle to get out of bed
But to summon the strength, give me a reason to stand
And start over again
Show me a sign that all is healed in time
And I'll show you ten more that suggest otherwise
Come on and prove me right

[Verse: Ben Murray with Laura Nichol]
I've seen this vicious cycle repeat
More pills, but less soul
At least I'm on my feet
(I'll drift through the day just to get back to sleep)
I'll drift through the day just to get back to sleep
Or self-medicate my way into the arms of relief
(Into the arms of relief)

[Chorus: Ben Murray with Laura Nichol]
No, it shouldn't take a miracle to get out of bed
But to summon the strength, give me a reason to stand
And start over again
Show me a sign that all is healed in time
And I'll show you ten more that suggest otherwise
Come on and prove me right
Prove me right

[Instrumental Break]

[Outro: Ben Murray with Laura Nichol]
This is a spiritual decline
(An affliction of the heart, a possession of the mind)
This is a spiritual decline
(An affliction of the heart, a possession of the mind)
