Thorns

(album: The Fire Itself - 2021)

Your song was new when I sang
The only reassurance I've had is pain

Oh I remember the palms of your hands
How they glowed from within
Did my scars truly heal
Or are they only hidden beneath my skin

My love unrequited because
My trust remains to be given

I was a king of earth
But a king no more
I was a king of earth
When your voice shook the floor

Accept that you suffer
Let go of your throne
Even when you are alone
Beautiful vines
On a crown that you mourn
To find trust requires thorns

Lead me to the water but all is unclear
In new verses, I only hear what I want to hear
The only reassurance I've had is pain

The only reassurance I've had is pain

Your song was new when I sang
The only reassurance I've had is pain

Pain

I was a king of earth
But a king no more
I was a king of earth
When your voice shook the floor

Accept that you suffer
Let go of your throne
Even when you are alone
Beautiful vines
On a crown that you mourn
To find trust requires thorns

Accept that you suffer
Let go of your throne
Even when you are alone
Beautiful vines
On a crown that you mourn
To find trust requires thorns
