Inconsistent and inconcise Blood of blood and life of life Looking through the eyes of a life lived twice Mirroring emotions Sharing the same vice Precious vice

Hoping to find faith Miming dissolving grace Just say “I know”

Few and far between You appear Give me the sounds I need to hear Losing seconds that liberate in tears

Hoping to find faith Miming dissolving grace Just say “I know” it’s all in our heads Just say “I know” and I’ll stay here instead

What would you do if you weren’t afraid?

Hoping to find faith Miming dissolving grace Just say “I know”

Hoping to find faith Miming dissolving grace Just say “I know” it’s all in our heads Just say “I know” and I’ll stay here instead
