New places with old faces
Got off the 5, never felt less alive than today
Out of body though blood has bought me
How did the earth of my birth get so painlessly grey?
You know I’d take it if it could make it
Feel like I’ve reason to hide
A couple of lashes, a close call crash
Its grave implications imply
Some life
Less of my shade, more of Your sun
Named with the ninety-nine, maimed with the one
If I’ve been saved, merciful God
How can I be twice-reborn from the sod
Of my sorrow?
And back in the pines
Nothing was fine
But I knew all of the monsters by their names
And I thought I knew the reasons
But You broke me and I
Don’t know where to believe in
Good vocation, bad location
Everything’s bruised, it’s a lose-and-a-lose till I’m home
If place is the light of my face
It's not where I’ve been, it’s the hand I depend on alone
I don’t think it’s ending, the grace deepening
Certainty never was joy
Least on my terms, empty returns
Till I all Your goodness employ
Manna, mercies
May it soften my heart till it hardens my knees
Hands up, head down
Gonna seek till I find like I’m sought till I’m found
Then salvation sets fire
To the flood in my soul
And the rain falls sideways
Till I give You control
Then I let go my wanting
Till the wonder returns
Cause if there’s no returning
Let us let it all burn
