The Wound Is Where The Light Gets In

I was halfway up the mountain when the rocks I held gave way I came tumbling like an avalanche to the bottom where I lay And with the taste of blood and the twist of bone my healing could begin 'Cause the wound is where the light, the wound is where the light The wound is where the light gets in I have stood there like a hostage with a knife held to my vein Captive to the poison that I took to numb the pain 'Cause everybody wishes they were born with thicker skin But the wound is where the light, the wound is where the light The wound is where the light gets in It's tricky how the heart works When the break ups and the big jerks Make us never wanna hurt that way again Maybe I'm naive But in very scar I see The place where love is trying to break in 'Cause the wound is where the light gets in You can recognize a saint by the scars they don't disguise You can pick a real sinner by the kindness in their eyes So if you're stumbling in the dark and bleeding at the shin Remember the wound is where the light, the wound is where the light The wound is where the light gets in The wound is where the light, the wound is where the light The wound is where the light gets in
