Mercy Shore - Live From the Woods

My arms are tired and weary
These wounds are on full display
And 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

Uuh, uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh
Uh, uh, uh, uh

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

Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

We're a child in the car asleep
In the driveway at night
Our mother's gonna slowly sneak
Our bodies 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 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

Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

Ooh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, oh, oh, oh

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