End of Desire Lyrics

Oh God, save me
I want an impossible thing
I want to be free of this ache, of this need
I want not to want anything
Someone said, "God is here tonight"
Said they saw her outside getting high
Turn your head to the side
Hold your gaze against mine
And there it is
A mark of the divine

Are you taking me to the end of desire? (End of desire)
Are you taking me home? (Taking me home)
Are you taking me home? (Taking me home)
Are you taking me to the end of desire? (End of desire)
Are you taking me home? (Taking me home)
Are you taking me home? (Taking me home)

I am consumed
All my nights I think only of you
Taking all I have left
In exchange for a death
That is painless
That will make me new

Are you taking me to the end of desire? (End of desire)
Are you taking me home? (Taking me home)
Are you taking me home? (Taking me home)
Are you taking me to the end of desire? (End of desire)
Are you taking me home? (Taking me home)
Are you taking me home? (Taking me home)

Deep down I know
I am worshiping a false idol
Deep down I know
It's a false hope
But I won't let go of this feeling
Like I've got something to believe in
Like your love can maybe make me whole

My love, are you taking me home?

Are you taking me to the end of desire? (End of desire)
Are you taking me home? (Taking me home)
Are you taking me home? (Taking me home)
Are you taking me to the end of desire? (End of desire)
Are you taking me home? (Taking me home)
Are you taking me home? (Taking me home)

My love, are you taking me home?
