In the silence of this shadowed room

when the walls are pulled toward the center

I'm afraid to be alone with you,

'cause I'm dry and full of splinters

Why do you still want to hold me after a day like this

All you can do is sing over me

as if all has been dismissed

You escape my words

You escape my words

I cannot consume what You offer

But in spite of myself, I am Yours

Though I cannot speak this language

You have quenched the thirst of these demands

I can't be no more than faithless

But this breath is from Your hands

You've released me from conditions

Someone's already been down this road before

He has taken the scorn that I deserve

But my hands still move the soil

You escape my words

You escape my words

I cannot consume what You offer

But in spite of myself, I am Yours

My words cannot contain You

They cannot hold You down, close You in, fill You up

My words cannot contain You

They cannot hold You down, close You in, fill You up
