[Verse 1]
You could baptize the sun
Rain down on everyone
You made a mess of my mind
And chipped away at my every mistake you could find
I can't make sense of you
Half on the fences
Too shaky to open my eyes
My reckless unraveling
You're watching safe on the sidelines

[Pre-Chorus]
You're so far away
I can't make you stay nearby
Hold this empty hand
Help me understand why

[Chorus]
Take me down to the river now
And lay me down in the sea
Cover me in the holy water
Till it's all that I breathe
And sanctify what's left of me

[Verse 2]
I can feel everything
You twirl me on a string
You're the convenient denier
You turn away and just leave me to play in the fire
Crazy kaleidoscope holding a broken rope
Pulling with all of my might
Praying to Jesus somebody frees us tonight
[Pre-Chorus]
Make this go away
I need you to stay nearby
Hold my weary hand
Help me understand why, oh

[Chorus]
Take me down to the river now
And lay me down in the sea
Cover me in the holy water
Till it's all that I breathe
And sanctify what's left of me, no
Me, yeah, me, yeah

[Chorus]
Take me down to the river now
And lay me down in the sea
Cover me in the holy water
Till it's all that I breathe

Take me down to the river now
Lay me down in the sea
Cover me in the holy water
And pour forgiveness on me
And sanctify what's left of me
