lyrics

It's a pitt & I keep dragging you in
and it's my failing that makes you think that you have sinned
And I am am ever full of sorries
cause I'm ever full of you
& it's me that holds us back from moving on.

And the fights become the ride to the madness that's inside
And I am tearing through the layers til there's blood
and it bites to just let go waiting for the storm to follow
Seems I'm holding off the rescue til the flood

It's a swamp and I keep pulling you under
It's my forevers that make you think that you must run
And I am ever pleading guilty cause I am ever full of guilt
and it's me that's blocking out the passing sun

Bleeding. Bleeding on the run.

And the fights become the ride to the madness that's inside
And I am tearing through the layers til there's blood
and it bites to just let go waiting for the storm to follow
Seems I'm holding off the rescue til the flood

It's an abyss and I keep slipping through the cracks
I think unworthy and so I'm often seeing lack
And I am ever blaming needy cause I'm ever full of need
And its me that stole the future from the seed.

And the fights become the ride to the madness that's inside
And I am tearing through the layers til there's blood
and it bites to just let go waiting for the storm to follow
Seems I'm holding off the rescue til the flood

Seems I'm holding off the rescue til I'm buried in the mud.
Seems I'm holding off the rescue til the flood.
