The More I Search (The More I Die) Songtext

von Bettye LaVette

I am an open book, I ain't got no secrets
My story bleeds poetical lines
For all my deep spection
Its still my heart that they can't find
They just won't, they just keep on talking
They never doubt the things they do
But as for me, I'm still a mystery
Eluded by the simple truth
In my vain humiliation
I wondered through shames dog holes
I daunt a new name, assumed me a new nature
Fooling no body, just creating walls
So many chances I have taken,
So many choices I have made
I choose again to take to seek love
God if it is you please let me in
The more I search, the more I die
I wanna feel, I wanna be alive
Am I safe or am I broken
Am I healed or just justified
The more I search, the more I die

Still I search to find me a vision
To feel ambition and dream once more
I lost it all but some folks say I am lucky
Am I a victim or did I just close the door
So here I am, you can take me or leave me,
But if you don't mind as you go
Give a little knot for me compassion
For the sake of both our souls
The more I search, the more I die
I wanna feel, I wanna be alive
Am I safe or am I broken
Am I healed or just justified
The more I search, the more I die
