Escape

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
