Jacob

Well, I've been running for the keep, I've been wrestling in my sleep
Been wearing these skins for so long
I've been running from the gun, from my own father's son
To used to running to settle my home
And all my lies just bought more land for me to roam

And I know that I'm not right
But I'm still putting up a fight
And I know my hands can't hold all I aim to steal
And I know that there is a cure
For this sickness my heart endures
But it's hard to walk naked into the light

Well, since you called me the deceiver I admit that I believed her
And I was raised by that name, her first son
Some nights I stay up and wonder, am I a con man or a brother?
But in the morning my heart wakes up numb
And all my lies just make more cause for me to run

And I know that I'm not right
But I'm still putting up a fight
And I know my hands can't hold all I aim to steal
And I know that there is a cure
For this sickness my heart endures
But it's hard to walk naked into the light
Yeah, it's hard to walk naked into the light

Well, in the night I saw your doorstep from my dreams while I slept
And angels stood where my head had lain
And I know I should be grateful, but my heart, it's just so tangled
In the words and the lies and the pain
So touch me and I won't walk the same
Oh, God, would You give me a name?
'Cause all my lies just left one person here to blame
