Holy Water

And oh, weigh me down to the riverbed

Down here, my fear sinks like a stone

And oh, wash me clean of the mess I am

This heart, these bones were born to be broke

I'll be tending roses in the garden by the road

And everybody passes but I wanna know

Was it always set in stone?

All the tears I cried alone

And if I only held them close

Could I have spun them into gold?

But if I'm blinded by the sunlight

The shadows come to call

Too much holy water would drown us all

And oh, lay me down like I never left

I'm bruised, I'm broke but not what I seem

And oh, turns out fear is just a crutch I had

It's strange how much you learn, learn when you leave

I'll be tending roses in the garden by the road

Everybody passes but I've gotta know

Was it always set in stone?

All the tears I cried alone

And if I only held them close

Could I have spun them into gold?

But if I'm blinded by the sunlight

The shadows come to call

Too much holy water would drown us all

I'll be tending roses in the garden by the road

Everybody passes and now I know

It was always set in stone

All the tears I cried alone

And if I only held them close

I'd have seen that they were gold

But if I'm blinded by the sunlight

The shadows come to call

Too much holy water would drown us all

Yeah, too much holy water would drown us all
