Pained, and caked, and cracked are these feet
That run from the echo of you
Stained, and framed, and battered, and beat
Is this heart after you were through
Chorus:
Holding ground till the earth stops shaking
Blocking sound with hands to our ears
Safe and sound, you’re all mistaken
We’ve arrived at our greatest fears
Mural men have tried to flee
From the walls of broken tombs
Same old hymn they’ve sold for years
We never did buy the tune
(Chorus)
And the breeze that stole the leaves
Leaves a poor excuse for sheltering
This wind strikes at raw grief
What is left is no relief
Waves they roll beneath this peak
Let the depth soak up what’s in
Traveled long, they’ve grown so weak
And you’ve followed ‘neath our skin
