Out Of Promises

(album: A Raven Has My Heart - 2014)

That long red hair.
Those long black robes.
A window opens.
The curtains close.
This stubborn heart broken on the wheel.
You struggle forward through the darkness.
You don't know what you feel.
Say the word.
Take the knife and cut us all apart if it'll give you back your life.
Cause you're out of promises that you can't keep.
You're out of promises.
You let the water run too deep now you're out of promises.
So dream the dream of a child.
Someone to love you until you die.
Someone close who'd never judge.
Someone to listen to your heartbreak no matter what it was.
Pray for rain.
Fight for air.
You said it'd always come but you know it's not quite there.
Now you're out of promises that you can't keep.
You're out of promises.
You keep talking in your sleep but you're out of promises.
And when the lion kills the lamb can you take it like a man?
When all we want is mercy.
A little bit of mercy.
And could you be a better man? well you do the best you can.
All we want is mercy.
A little bit of mercy.
'cause we're out of promises that we can't keep.
We're out of promises.
We let the water run too deep now we're out of promises.
Say the word.
We're out of promises.
We let the warning go unheard now we're out of promises.
