He cries in vain again
What must a man become?
Just to mend his broken soul?
In an ocean fixed of shoals
The clock ticks and I'm lost
If the apple falls, but stays beneath the surface
Then how did I become so far from purpose?
Where everything's golden, I'm the first one to drift
Married to anchors, now, it's truth I'm seeking

'Cause I just wanna say to those around me
I am full of shame, so self-doubting
Why does it always come to running?
A never ending fear of losing?
Will somebody untie this rope around me?

He cries in vain again
Longing for a sign that shifts his heart from grief to gain

Sitting locked in the front row with the innocent and sentenced
But leave me to drown out on my knees
I'm growing cold to the gift of life
Drifting further into wicked tides
Am I the hopeless one, not worth saving?

'Cause I just wanna say to those around me
I am full of shame, so self-doubting
Why does it always come to running?
A never-ending fear of losing?
Will somebody untie this rope around me?

Man's search for meaning
Why?
Do I let this destroy me?

But I can find the heart to lift a human
If you're not changing it
This world, my friend, you're choosing
If in the eyes of nature, man is clueless
Then why do I seek guidance from the dead?

'Cause I prayed to God
But I think he's fucking had it with me
Oh, I think he's had it with me
From a darkened soul to light
Rid me the devil, keep me away from the grave

'Cause I just wanna say to those around me
I am full of shame, so self-doubting
From a darkened soul to light
Rid me the devil, keep me away from the grave
Will somebody untie this rope around me?
