Almost Always - hounds Lyrics

They'll eventually come down
The thoughts half-hidden in storm clouds
And they'll say that I've caved in
When it starts to rain and
We'll call it a tragedy
What might be left in the fallout
A sense of reeling while hope's
Torn by loose hounds
Cheap love in our beds
Chemicals easing pains of death
While prayers of hope die on our lips

I slept in peace under the roar of the ocean
Grounded beneath the stars knowing you held them
Now I feel so blind under the limits that hold us
Could I say I'm among the dogs or your children
I slept in peace under the roar of the ocean
Grounded beneath the stars knowing you held them
Now I couldn't hide doubt's corpse if I drowned it
I breathe in coals of hope for a grace I can drown in

I've waited so long standing still
Child-like and lukewarm, scared I will
Turn to stone, heart bleeding love
Out through holes in my pockets
Onto the ground

I don't think I've been here before
I must have lost my way
