Let the flood surround me My skin is dry as fire All this mud within me Makes me feel like a soul survivor And if the light will guide me To a place just a little bit higher I'll pray my faith won't leave me As I walk on this endless wire It seems so real And it feels Like I'm fading slowly Give me something to believe in All my tools have a strange way of leaving I feel my veins are bleeding Tell me why time keeps slipping It's in the air that I'm breathing It's in this holy ball of mud, I'm kicking I'm getting tired of that feeling I'll save my prayer for the living I walked on the water And I could feel the sand beneath me I need some time to - understand And came close to - who I am Hey you are you listening It ain't much I'll beg and ask for Through the years I've been digging But I guess you've seen it all before Now my ship is sinking Every breath brings me closer to the wall It's in the cards I've been givin' Please be there when the final curtains fall
