Lyrics

Even now, your eyes are cold in sleep
I'll stay by your side as I've always been
Sleep tonight and may your dreams
Reveal my love for you
Beyond what I must do
To you, though, my prayers for you
Separate myself forever
Trench of lies that's naked in this cold
And lonely, unforgiving life is stripped away
Of all delusions of the man I'd like to be
At the moment, I am broken parts
Sure of only weaknesses with nothing left to show
No illusions left to hide behind
Barely clean
I think both agony and absolute release
Can I hope to pass this test?
Is my destiny this wilderness?
The hardest part of letting go
Entrusting you with everything
And laying bare my soul
Is truly seeing who I really am
Father, what is man
That you have my blood of man?
Can I hope to pass this test?
Is my destiny this wilderness?
Stand all alone
Against a life of wretchedness
Impossible to hold
And so I plead your graciousness
Show me your blood and may my life
Reflect your presence and
Never again
Find myself in anything less
The hardest part of letting go
Entrusting you with everything
And laying bare my soul
Is truly seeing who I really am
Father, what is man
That you have my blood?
