lyrics

Even in our darkness love remains
Even when we forget its name
The pain is real
Holding a live wire in your hands
It’s enough to kill a man
It’s the price you pay to feel
Something in your head
Something in your soul
Something to know you’re not alone

Anyone can let forgiveness in
Just open up your heart until it breaks
Anyone can let forgiveness win
Remember that we’re more than our mistakes

Even in our light a shadow plays
A reminder of our darkest days
When we were lost at sea
Clinging to the mast and listening
To the horror that the Sirens sing
But it makes you feel
Something in your head
Something in your soul
Something to know you’re not alone

Anyone can let forgiveness in
Just open up your heart until it breaks
Anyone can let forgiveness win
Remember that we’re more than our mistakes

Even in our loss there is some grace
It finds us in a quiet place
When it’s time to heal

It’s something in your head
Something in your soul
It tells you that you’re not alone

Anyone can let forgiveness in
Just open up your heart until it breaks
Anyone can let forgiveness win
Remember that we’re more than our mistakes
