lyrics

I can't remember just what I did
but I did it, all the same
Into the hands and feet, now I am hid
with the purging of all of my shame

I think I could stay here a while
in the river where it runs cold on my skin
I think I could bleed here a while
in the river where it all begins

I can't confess just what I did
because it burns when it falls down from my lips
back into death I swam without breath
hoping I would remember the shore

I think I could stay here a while
in the river where it runs cold on my skin
I think I could bleed here a while
in the river where it all begins

I can't forgive anything I have done
because I am not the only one I have hurt
dreaming of light I took another's life
praying "God, wash the blood off my hands"

I think I could stay here a while
in the river where it runs cold on my skin
I think I could bleed here a while
in the river where it all begins

but will I lord?
will I lord?
oh oh oh lord
