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?
