The More I Search (The More I Die)

The More I Search (The More I Die) - Bettye Lavette

Written by：Kim McLean

I am an open book I ain't got no secrets

My story bleeds poetical lines

For all my deep introspection

It's 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 do you fied or just justified

The more I search the more I die

The more I search the more I die
