lyrics

I’ve been up since last August/ trying to get back to July
And if we’re here to be honest/ most days I really hate my life
I don’t want anyone to see me/ not this person I became
We’re here for you, it should be easy/ like taking candy from a babe
Well, it ain’t even the same/ they don’t know

The hell I’ve been through/ Maybe no one does in this crowd
For every silent saint I’ve prayed to/ They never answered me out loud

Mid November and I’m thirsty/ late December it’s still true
Mother of God look down in mercy/ my lungs are dry and I’m turning blue
I haven’t seen my girl since August/ and Lord the days are getting longer
She’s growing up and singing out/ Hope I gave her something else to write about
But it’s hard ‘cause I don’t know

The hell she’s been through/ and maybe no one does in her crowd
For every silent saint I’ve prayed to/ I hope they answer her out loud

So I’m still sitting here tonight/ climbing a ladder that’s too tall
And nursing wounds that don’t heal right/ with every step I seem to fall
We’re all reaching up to flesh it out/ a stab in the dark at what life’s about
We’re drunk in spirit or in wine/ wait your turn for grace in line
‘Cause the Savior says he knows all

The hell you’ve been through/ has been conquered, overcome
But we’ve got boots on the ground/ fighting battles all around
Unaware the war’s been won

Jacob wrestling on the ground/ darkness closing all around
Waiting for the rising sun
