I've been chewing on the bones of Jesus

I wish I'd known to call it grief

But COVID took my senses

These last few years they made me weak

I've been chomping on what's familiar

Behind a different set of fence

Wishing I could get these words

To all make sense again

Maybe if I hold steady I'll be radically alive

Digging at the sediment that's been left behind

I've been gnawing on love and living

But I can't leave You behind

If I could it'd be much easier

Than all this wasted time

So I swallow what I know and leave the hunger in my chest

Picket lines telling lies, a spiritual distress

Every breath feels like a gamble

Every moment second-guessed

With my hands unclenched and empty begging for solace

So I swallow what I know and leave the hunger in my chest

Picket lines telling lies, a spiritual distress

Every breath feels like a gamble

Every moment second-guessed

With my hands unclenched and empty a spiritual distress

Maybe if I hold steady I'll be radically alive

Digging at the sediment that's been left behind

I've been gnawing on love and living

But I can't leave You behind

If I could it'd be much easier

Than all this wasted time

Maybe if I hold steady I'll be radically alive

Digging at the sediment that's been left behind

I've been gnawing on love and living

But I can't leave You behind

If I could it'd be much easier

Than all this wasted time
