Like a crimminal guilty on all counts, rattling his cage with every ounce
Of resolve he never had
I was convicted

Then I took the pardon
And the walls came down
But I must like it here
'cause I keep hanging around
For a better suit, and an escort
And a winning lottery ticket

First we waited for miracles
Then we needed a sign
Now we're here to confess
We've wasted the time
But I know, I know, I know, I know that

Every blade will wither and fade
As the old man dies again
Seasons pass, we're clinging to grass
'Cause we've lost the sky again

Like a woman trying to give birth
She strains, she labors
She's not sure if it's worth the suffering
As she wonders, "How long?"
When I first heard the rumor
You were coming back
I confess my impatience
I guess I lost track of what
I'm to persevere for
Of the reason you put me here for

Remember when it was any day now?
Never dreamed we were wrong
Now we're shaking our heads
Wondering, "how long?"
But I know, I know, I know, I know that

Every blade will wither and fade
As the old man dies again
Seasons pass, we're clinging to grass
'Cause we've lost the sky again

I feel a moment of your perfect love
I catch a glimmer of your sweet grace
But it only makes me long for the day
When I'll look full in your face

Every blade will wither and fade
As the old man dies again
Seasons pass, we're clinging to grass
'Cause we've lost the sky again
