Drowning Hymns

Time slipping through your fingers like that
Wine, that you drink with such conviction
Must be a heavy load to always know
How do you always stay composed?
With the confidence, you're screaming out
Down on your knees, how do you grow?

When I saw the good side coming out of your mouth
You had your arms wide open, you were preaching it out
And those eyes were so bright, the damned saw no light
Then I saw the bad side, and you bottled it up
And through the anger and the doubt, the beauty wasn't enough
This is not my kind of love

I try to see it through your eyes
Lift me up, lift me up
I look up, all that I see is the sky
Lift me up, lift me up
Lift me up

Pace, yeah
Not keeping your pace up when you're pulling your face on, late
I watch you let 'em feast, but then you turn so hollow
Now, you broke every bone
Sick and healing, don't see your body right
Before you know, you're comatose
When will you recognize it? Recognize it

When I saw the good side coming outta your mouth
You had your arms wide open, you were preaching it out
And those eyes were so bright, the damned saw no light
Then I saw the bad side, and you bottled it up
And through the anger and the doubt, the beauty wasn't enough
This is not my kind of love

I try to see it through your eyes
Lift me up, lift me up
I look up, all that I see is the sky
Lift me up, lift me up
Lift me up

Pacify with no fear, but you're shouting it out

Pacify with no fear, but you're shouting it out

Covered in soot, covered in soot
Closing your eyes to avoid the truth
No more back and forth, this spitting war
Just selling yourself to a fallen soul
(To see it through your eyes)

I try to see it through your eyes
Lift me up, lift me up
I look up, all that I see is the sky
Lift me up, lift me up
Lift me up

Pacify with no fear, but you're shouting it
