Dawntreader - SHEEPSKIN (feat. The Burden) Lyrics

You were gonna make me whole
You were gonna save my soul
Did everything we could to stave off hell
But every day we slowly lost ourselves
Before the walls could close in
I should've doubted you were chosen
You wear the cloth like wolves wear sheepskin
And all of us are lost
So close your eyes
'cause heaven knows what's hiding in our minds
So pure inside
Does heaven know what's hiding in our minds? (in our minds)
"Blow the doors and set the captives free"
"Deliver justice like a mighty stream"
I doubt that you even remember me
But my body has never forgotten the memory
Is this the life that I was meant to lead?
Is this the vision that was in your dreams?
I doubt that you even remember me
But I can never forget
I can never believe
So close your eyes
'cause heaven knows what's hiding in our minds
So pure inside
Does heaven know what's hiding in our minds?
Were there ever moments when your conscience spoke
Before I stood before you, I am crucified
You enjoy the privileges society grants
While systemic abstractions indemnify you
Sensations, always sensations but never language
Can't say it out loud so I continue to languish
How can you tell me I'm saved
When you have taken my ability
To ever truly feel safe again
They say hell is what we've chosen
But I know that's a ruse
The only choice we made
Was f*cking trusting you
But I've learned
That in the end I still hope there's a God
Not to see heaven, but to see you burn
Beg for a second chance
You tied a rope around heaven's neck
And now the wolves are closing in
You don't get to change how the story ends
Don't close your eyes
'Cause heaven knows what's hiding in our minds
('cause heaven knows what's hiding)
