All that I am is driftwood for the sea, It engulfs me, it engulfs me so easily. This disease is thicker then the woods, It surrounds me, it surrounds me for good. All that I am is cold cracked skin and bones, It enfolds me, it enfolds me all alone. This room settles harder than the cold ground, It suffocates me, it suffocates me until there's no sound.                                                                   There's strength in a faith that is blind                                                                     and I'd go blind for you,                                                                       There's soil for these roots to anchor us                                                                          if we just hold on through.

All that I am is driftwood for the sea, It engulfs me, it engulfs me so easily. This disease is thicker then the woods, It surrounds me, it surrounds me for good. All that I am is cold cracked skin and bones, It enfolds me, it enfolds me all alone. This room settles harder than the cold ground, It suffocates me, it suffocates me until there's no sound.                                                                   There's strength in a faith that is blind                                                                     and I'd go blind for you,                                                                       There's soil for these roots to anchor us                                                                          if we just hold on through.
