lyrics
I can feel the eyes of every ghost tonight
This loss isn't light
Can I run this race?
Carry heaven's face unkempt and unqualified?
But it's all I have left to tell them
"We'll be okay"
And what is the purpose if not for us to say:
I know where you are
This suffocating dark
I swear it's not too far
There's solace in the scars
So...
Pour me out cause I can't sleep
There's nowhere to run, no one to get through to me
I've never breathed so helplessly
No regard for my life, but I can't live lifelessly
I know
There's too many injured feet
To just leave them all dirty
But theirs are no more dark than me
How can I be deserving?
My friends haven't left but I'm so scared they're gonna leave
Caught between wanting to help and struggling to breathe
But maybe all this hurt I feel is meant to help me see
That they're all hurting
Anything to set a broken bone
Anything to help them get back home
I know where you are
I know where you are
Pour me out, an offering drink
There's nowhere to run, no one to get through to me
I've nowhere else to go but down
Won't drown, just breathe
You've placed my heart perfectly
To bear up someone else's pain
There is no greater love than
To dance in someone else's rain
Just to show how You've loved them
Anything to set a broken bone
Anything to help them get back home
We'll find alone was never quite alone
A closet monument, another's stone
And if being low is what it's gonna take
To sympathize with every single break
To hold them firm against the trembling wake
I'm happy to be poured out for their sake
Go on, I'm nothing
Crush me for their sake
I know You love me
Crush me for their sake
For Your...

Love all their work. 'And I wait in shivering light. somewhere a voice spoke inside. And you climb through the window outside, and you told me to search for you there...in the mystery." nathan kirkpatrick
