Cornerstone

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
