Mercy's Shore · letra

Intro

My arms are tired and weary These wounds are on full display I've tried every door in the hallway There's just nowhere that I feel safe

Chorus

I see the light but never find the surface I don’t know if I can swim no more White knuckles and wild horses One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore (Ooh oooh oooh oooh)

Verse 1

I'm lost in the waves that crush me They bring discovery where darkness hides Just over the ridge in front of you Another mountain that you'll have to climb

Chorus

I see the light but never find the surface I don’t know if I can swim no more White knuckles and wild horses One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore (Oh woah woah woah)

Verse 2

We're a child in the car asleep In the driveway at night Our mother's gonna slowly sneak Our body inside We can rest in the arms of trust There's no way that we can say We've earned our way into light All we have to do to is stay

Chorus

I see the light but never find the surface I don’t know if I can swim no more White knuckles and wild horses One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore One day we'll wash up on mercy’s shore (Oh wo-oah wo-oah wo-oah) (Oh wo-oah wo-oah wo-oah)

Outro

I've been battling a broken heart Everybody knows I'm torn apart Since I was eight years old and I thought that God was a girl in my school If we can wind up on a sandy beach Breathin' air that only death can reach And singing songs that only heaven leaves It's okay with me And God is wanting us to make believe But knowing something is only a dream Like the absolutes and the in-between Are out of line, sometimes, intertwined, behind A mind, in line, and fights that only fools are still trying to fight
