Calling You Quickly

I hear dull roaring
The quickest way is waterfall
Calling you, calling you
Shall I wonder? Shall I wonder?
I’m calling you, calling you

In this defense I am calling you
Shall I wonder? Is it just the way I am?
Is that roaring still in the distance?
Shall I wonder if it’s the way home?
Calling you, calling you

On the way down…Not all the way down
Did you hear me…Did you even listen?
Calling out to you
Will you come to me
Like the world stopped still?
Calling out to me
Call to me

What took you, were you tricked in the night?
Enticed and stolen from your broad daylight?
Weeds of desperation, and I wonder

I hear the roaring, come quick the waterfall
Shall I wonder? Blank haze of distance
On the way down, not all the way down
Did you hear me, did you even listen?
Calling you, I’m calling you
Shall I wonder, am I calling the right name?

Were you tricked in the night?
Enticed from the right?
Stolen from your broad daylight?
I need your daylight

I have feedless desperation
But I need your desperation
Won’t you feed this desperation
Come on feed this desperation
I need peace in desperation
I need peaceful desperation
Take a piece of desperation
Feed and feed on my desperation
Or stop the world in desperation

[Note: I was apparently inspired by U2's "Bad," but, unlike Bono, had trouble thinking of a word to rhyme with "desperation."]
