lyrics

You’d be surprised at the damage that a friendly face can do.
I close my eyes while tracing steps from waiting room to room.
I can’t count all of those sleepless night, I spent while in my bed
Lucid dreams in stagnant air, all the demons in my head

And your blood still courses through my veins
There’s more to this life than just a name

Things are set to change,
But the pain’s still there and I know, I know
That everything is changing slowly.
Our bones all move so strange,
But I’ve forgiven you and I hope, I hope
After everything you’ll leave here knowing.

That my family and friends have parted ways
That a marriage can be torn apart by days, and change
Though our eyes catch light the same
Our anger puts sparks in the air
My knees are week from prayer

And your blood still courses through my veins
There’s more to this life than just a name

Things are set to change,
But the pain’s still there and I know, I know
That everything is changing slowly.
Our bones all move so strange,
But I’ve forgiven you and I hope, I hope
After everything you’ll leave here knowing.

That a dusty hymnal’s the first thing I saw
When I got that call from your hospital bed.
My body so fragile in weakness and awe
And a flooding of anger then filled my head.
Well I’ve spent two decades praying for Grace,
I’ll bury this pride one way or another.
‘cause now I’d cross oceans to see your face.
I’m too young to bury a mother.

I know, I know that everything is just changing slowly.
