Holy Water
Oh, weigh me down
To the riverbed
Down here, my fear
Sinks like a stone
Oh, wash me clean
Of the mess I am
This heart, these bones
Were born to broke
I'll be tending roses
In the garden by the road
Everybody passes but I want to know
Was it always set in stone
All the tears I cried alone
If I only held them close
Could I have spun them into gold
But if I'm blinded by the sunlight
The shadows come to call
Too much holy water
Would drown us all
Oh, lay me down
Like I never left
I'm bruised, I'm broke
But not what I seem
Oh, turns out fear
Is just a crutch I had
It's strange, how much you learn
Learn when you leave
I'll be tending roses
In the garden by the road
Everybody passes but I've gotta know
Was it always set in stone
All the tears I cried alone
If I only held them close
Could I have spun them into gold
But if I'm blinded by the sunlight
The shadows come to call
Too much holy water
Would drown us all
I'll be tending roses
In the garden by the road
Everybody passes and now I know
It was always set in stone
All the tears I cried alone
If I only held them close
I'd have seen that they were gold
But if I'm blinded by the sunlight
The shadows come to call
Too much holy water
Would drown us all
Too much holy water
Would drown us all
To the riverbed
Down here, my fear
Sinks like a stone
Oh, wash me clean
Of the mess I am
This heart, these bones
Were born to broke
I'll be tending roses
In the garden by the road
Everybody passes but I want to know
Was it always set in stone
All the tears I cried alone
If I only held them close
Could I have spun them into gold
But if I'm blinded by the sunlight
The shadows come to call
Too much holy water
Would drown us all
Oh, lay me down
Like I never left
I'm bruised, I'm broke
But not what I seem
Oh, turns out fear
Is just a crutch I had
It's strange, how much you learn
Learn when you leave
I'll be tending roses
In the garden by the road
Everybody passes but I've gotta know
Was it always set in stone
All the tears I cried alone
If I only held them close
Could I have spun them into gold
But if I'm blinded by the sunlight
The shadows come to call
Too much holy water
Would drown us all
I'll be tending roses
In the garden by the road
Everybody passes and now I know
It was always set in stone
All the tears I cried alone
If I only held them close
I'd have seen that they were gold
But if I'm blinded by the sunlight
The shadows come to call
Too much holy water
Would drown us all
Too much holy water
Would drown us all
