Mercy's Shore
My arms are tired and weary
These wounds are on full display
I've tried every door in the hallway
There's just no where 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
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
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
Oh, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa, whoa
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
Oh, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa, whoa
Oh, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa, whoa
I've been battlin' a broken heart
Everybody knows I'm torn apart
Since I was eight years old when I thought
That God was a girl in my school
If we can wind up on a sandy beach
Breathin' air that only death can reach
And singin' songs that only Heaven leaves
It's okay with me
And God is wantin' us to make believe
But knowin' somethin' is only a dream
Like the absolutes and the in-betweens
Are out of line, sometimes, intertwined
Behind a mind, in lies, and fights
That only fools are still tryna fight
These wounds are on full display
I've tried every door in the hallway
There's just no where 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
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
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
Oh, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa, whoa
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
Oh, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa, whoa
Oh, oh-whoa
Oh-whoa, whoa
I've been battlin' a broken heart
Everybody knows I'm torn apart
Since I was eight years old when I thought
That God was a girl in my school
If we can wind up on a sandy beach
Breathin' air that only death can reach
And singin' songs that only Heaven leaves
It's okay with me
And God is wantin' us to make believe
But knowin' somethin' is only a dream
Like the absolutes and the in-betweens
Are out of line, sometimes, intertwined
Behind a mind, in lies, and fights
That only fools are still tryna fight
