Mercy's Shore

(álbum: Out Of Body - 2020)

My arms are tired and weary
These wounds are on full display
I've tried every door in the hallway
There's just nowhere that I feel safe

I see the light but never find the surface
I don't know if I can swim no more
White knuckles and wild horses
One day we'll wash up on mercy's shore
One day we'll wash up on mercy's shore

I'm lost in the waves that crush me
They bring discovery where darkness hides
Just over the ridge in front of you
Another mountain that you'll have to climb

I see the light but never find the surface
I don't know if I can swim no more
White knuckles and wild horses
One day we'll wash up on mercy's shore
One day we'll wash up on mercy's shore

We're a child in the car asleep
In the driveway at night
Our mother's gonna slowly sneak
Our body inside
We can rest in the arms of trust
There's no way that we can say
We've earned our way into light
All we have to do to is stay

I see the light but never find the surface
I don't know if I can swim no more
White knuckles and wild horses
One day we'll wash up on mercy's shore
One day we'll wash up on mercy's shore

I've been battling a broken heart
Everybody knows I'm torn apart
Since I was 8 years old and I thought that
God was a girl in my school
If we can wind up on a sandy beach
Breathing air that only death can reach
And singing songs that only heaven leaves
It's okay with me
And God is wanting us to make believe
But knowing something is only a dream
Like the absolutes and the in-between
Are out of line, sometimes, intertwined, behind
A mind, in line, and fights that only fools are still trying to fight
