burn the veil
I've been stranded in open ocean
It's been a while now since I've seen land
Now I'm taking on water faster
Than this bucket soul of mine can bail
It shouldn't take much imagination
I got a pyre of grievances at hand
And like a fire and brimstone preacher
I could light it up, burn the veil
But I'm not gonna call you on the carpet
For all the hell that I been through
As if living broken-hearted
Leads my love on back to you
Just looking for the cracks out in the pavement
Where the kingdom's breaking through
Cuz when it's all been said and done
I need redeeming in this too
Bring trouble, bring high water
Bring these tired songs up for air
And let the Spirit start terraforming
Every doubt in the melody of his voice
We're living like tightrope walkers
Watching reality lay us bare
And when we find that the line's been worn thin
Maybe Grace will meet us in the void
I'm not gonna call you on the carpet
For all the hell that I been through
As if living broken-hearted
Leads my love on back to you
Just looking for the cracks out in the pavement
Where the kingdom's breaking through
Cuz when it's all been said and done
I need redeeming in this too
It's been a while now since I've seen land
Now I'm taking on water faster
Than this bucket soul of mine can bail
It shouldn't take much imagination
I got a pyre of grievances at hand
And like a fire and brimstone preacher
I could light it up, burn the veil
But I'm not gonna call you on the carpet
For all the hell that I been through
As if living broken-hearted
Leads my love on back to you
Just looking for the cracks out in the pavement
Where the kingdom's breaking through
Cuz when it's all been said and done
I need redeeming in this too
Bring trouble, bring high water
Bring these tired songs up for air
And let the Spirit start terraforming
Every doubt in the melody of his voice
We're living like tightrope walkers
Watching reality lay us bare
And when we find that the line's been worn thin
Maybe Grace will meet us in the void
I'm not gonna call you on the carpet
For all the hell that I been through
As if living broken-hearted
Leads my love on back to you
Just looking for the cracks out in the pavement
Where the kingdom's breaking through
Cuz when it's all been said and done
I need redeeming in this too
