From the recording Make Me Whole
Lyrics
(Verse 1)
How many times will this repeat?
My soul is cold and chapped
Like a mouse that's been stuck in the same trap
More than twice before
Why do I keep going back?
Pound my head against the wall
You gently rap on my bedroom door
We're both tired of it
And I'm in awe that you exist
But why do you come back for more?
And why can't I be more?
(Pre-Chorus)
It'd be different if I --
If I was like you
If I was light everywhere I go
But I'm impatient and afraid
Oh, I fear your heavenly gaze
'Cause it's one that I do not know
All I know
(Chorus)
Is that I'm a shattered saint
Wrapped in sinner's clothes
Now, cut them off
And make me whole
You see, I'm a shattered saint
Wrapped in sinner's clothes
Now, cut them off
And make me whole
Would you make me whole?
(Verse 2)
How many times will this repeat?
I run away, then I come back
And there you always are,
Sitting in the same place
Right where I left ya
Your gaze meets mine
A smile spreads on your face
You meet me with a warm embrace
Tears streaming down my face
Welcome home you say
(Chorus)
Don't you know, I'm a shattered saint
Wrapped in sinner's clothes
Now, cut them off
And make me whole
You see, I'm a shattered saint
Wrapped in sinner's clothes
Now, cut them off
And make me whole
Would you make me whole?
Would you make me? Mmm
How many times will this repeat?
