Persuade me to do something else
Instead of giving in to this.
Persuade me there is so much more
Than future glory's witching kiss.
Grant me peace against the fall
Which comes when I am paralyzed
And stir me up to passion's burn
When fervor blinds my searching eyes.
Electrified, I surge and ebb
And flattened, I return to start.
There is no in-between for me.
There is no peace left in my heart.
I have no rest before my soul
And no awareness of my mind.
Persuade me I am more than me
Before I leave myself behind.
