Moonshiner Collective - Poem From a Dark Room Lyrics

Love is something I won't pretend to understand
But I think it separates a boy from a hard working man
It can cut through a heart like a knife slowly turning
And I've never felt that so I can't understand this burning
That will engulf you and I at one point or another
After we've given up heart and soul to be someone's lover
But I've never felt that so I don't know what I'm saying
And it's these thoughts that keep me from the prayers I should be prayin'

All I have are these words and an acoustic guitar
And that shit takes you somewhere but not very far

But I'm forever grateful for the will to be living
For the sister and mother and father I've been given
For these dreams I can realize when I finally wake up
For the ability to drink from a half full cup
For the insight to see we are not all the same
Maybe you and I are fine and we don't need to change

And the answers aren't found on Oprah or Dr. Phil's couch
And you probably won't find 'em in some movie star's mouth

But I'm forever grateful for these years since I first wrote this
This poem from a dark room when I felt so goddamn hopeless
For my wife and daughters and these friends I've been given
And the depths of some hell just to get to this heaven
For these dreams I've realized when I finally woke up
For this ability to drink from a half full cup
For the insight to see we are not all the same
You and I have been fine and we don't need to change

And these answers never came from the roughest of tests
But maybe lie in the words my father showed me best
Love is something I won't pretend to understand
But I think it separates a boy from a hard working man
