Wine & Water (Acoustic) Lyrics

You're missing the signs
Because it's not what you're looking for
Faith is no bargain, cheaply bought off of trickster hands

The way of the shark is a middle way
And the end of the road is a sharp mouth of knives
That thirsts for the clenching
Yeah, it thirsts for the clenching

Everything I need, everything I touch
Turns to quicksand
The harder I try, I try so hard
It slips right through my fingers

Belief is a virtue which no conjurer can fable for idle ears
The path of the unfailing is a lions den for the simple-hearted
In the end, it is the gap of the serpent that burrows in the deep
Yeah, it burrows in the deep

Everything I need, everything I touch
Turns to quicksand
The harder I try, I try so hard
It slips right through my fingers

I am the awaited burst with the sun in my back
Burning your wounds and igniting mine
I am wine to your water
No matter how much you pour the dilution it won't whitewash my wrong

My wrong

The harder I try, I try so hard

Everything I need, everything I touch
Turns to quicksand
The harder I try, I try so hard
It slips right through my fingers
