If this is redemption, why do i bother at all
Theres nothing to mention, and nothing has changed
Still id rather be working at something, than praying for the rain
So i wander on, till someone else is saved
I moved to the coast, under a mountain
Swam in the ocean, slept on my own
At dawn i would watch the sun, cut ribbons through the bay
Id remember all, the things my mother wrote
That we dont eat until your fathers at the table
We dont drink until the devils turned to dust
Never once has any man ive met been able to love
So if i were you, id have a little trust
Two thousand years, ive been in that water
Two thousand years, sunk like a stone
Desperately reaching for nets that the fishermen have thrown
Trying to find, a little bit of hope
Me i was holding, all of my secrets soft and hid
Pages were folded, then there was nothing at all
So if in the future i might, need myself a saviour
I'll remember what was, written on that wall
Have i been good to you at all
Oh im so tired of playing these games
Wed just be running down
The same old lines, the same old stories of
Breathless trains and, worn down glories
Houses burning, worlds that turn on their own
That we dont eat until your fathers at the table
We dont drink until the devils turned to dust
Never once has any man ive met been able to love
So if i were you my friend
Learn to have just a, little bit of trust.
