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 say composed?
With that confidence you're screaming out
Down on your knees how do you grow?

But 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
You're not keeping the pace up
When you're pulling your face on late
I watched you let them feast
But then you turned so hollow
Thought you broke every bone
Take a healing dose to your body
Right before you know
You're comatose
When will you recognize it
Recognize it

But 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

Pacify with no fear, but you're selling it all
Pacify with no fear, but you're selling it all
Covered in twine
Covered in soot
Closing your eyes to avoid the truth
No more back and forth or spitting words
Or selling yourself to a fallen soul

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

Pacify with no fear, but you're selling it
