I once knew a girl who dripped honey as she spoke
She told me brother don't give up on hope
I asked her what she knew of the lies I'd been told
And she said it's still a choice to let them defile your soul
I've been drifting I've been drifting I've been drifting away
I've been slipping I've been slipping I've been slipping through these days
I've been sifting I've been sifting I've been sifting through pain
I've been wishing I've been wishing that I could still pray
See it's f*cked up how close the poisons to the remedy
Cause I still taste every half truth that you fed to me
And feel the absence of the goodness that you bled from me
And now must break bread with demons made from your memories
F*ck when did the shadows grow so long
When did the fear in our hearts grow so strong
When did they defile the beauty we built our hope on
And when did I stop finding comfort in the thought that life goes on
I once knew a girl who dripped honey as she spoke
She told me brother don't give up on hope
I asked her what she knew of the lies I'd been told
And she said it's still a choice to let them defile your soul
Oh these walls these walls have grown tall in the night
And at the dawn the dawn I could not see the light
Oh the further I go the less I delight
As I am laid low by the edges of life
These days all I got are questions like
What role does shame play in redemption cause
There's been so much misdirection
We get lost in the sea between consumption and connection f*ck
We ain't been reaching ain't been reaching for the stars
We've just been speaking without thinking the false teachings we've absorbed
And it's f*cked up god damn it's been discouraging
Rushing through each moment like the present is what burdens us
Foul shit toss out the infants with the bath water
Cause we're moving too fast to be bothered
With life discernment and all of the above
The blight it curses all the things that we once loved
Back before life went and so firmly instructed us
Gave example after example of how no one gives a f*ck for us
How we are alone and that's the only thing worth trusting in
And then we hate ourselves for never trying to love again
I once knew a girl who dripped honey as she spoke
She told me brother don't give up on hope
I asked her what she knew of the lies I'd been told
And she said it's still a choice to let them defile your soul
Oh these walls these walls have grown tall in the night
And at the dawn the dawn I could not see the light
Oh the further I go the less I delight
As I am laid low by the edges of life
