Ascending -

Say that you’re on your way, the lonely road

Traveling the miles to bring us to

The highest ground we ever placed our feet on

And for a moment our balance sustained on rigid water

Who can stop us now?

I pray to be of little faith cause even though the palms of his hands bare scars

I change my name to Thomas if it would keep me from repeating the same mistakes

And all the while two angels counsel on top of my shoulders

Both sides convincing me, his good grace repeating:

«Revealing the skin won’t keep you safe from facing these consequences that

you’ve made»

(You should)

Save your tongue, our silence is always awkward

We’re better off with little words barely ever spoken

I won’t say that I’m weak, but we’re not as strong as we once thought

We’ll just begin where we left off

(Exchanging forms of loneliness to fulfill our own desires)

We should find a way to make our bodies less enticing

(To stay away from contact would change my perception of an accomplishment)

Keep your eyes closed when you’re on your knees

Pray that his blood is still thick enough to soak us up

Even though our hands are inspired by the most beautiful on

I still know what’s in store when the sun burns itself out again

(You Should)

Save your tongue, our silence is always awkward

We’re better off with little words barely ever spoken

I won’t say that I’m weak

What’s kept us close (what's kept us close)

She pretended to love (she pretended to love)

While it slowly consumes all aspects of my life

Now I’ll see this through, when will I ever learn

To put my soul before what my body thinks it needs to know

It’s just the way we carry ourselves
