Wrapped up in blankets hiding from my own tears
Believing through blindness that I’ll escape those dear fears
If only my hunger was for righteousness sweet
And only my mind didn’t stain my own feet
How long how long were you thinking you could hide
The fig tree is rotting now by your shame birthed by pride
I’ve been going to bed in all the old places
Dreaming of demons with familiar faces
They look just like loved ones but with tighter embraces
They say we’ve seen your heart and it’s callous it’s heinous
Your blood and your body fill me with guilt
And fill me with purity there my salvation is built
Each sin that I’ve hidden strikes a spear in your side
But I cannot find your saving face for you blood is in my eyes
I’ve been going to bed in all the old places
Dreaming of demons with familiar faces
They look just like loved ones but with tighter embraces
They say we’ve seen your heart and it’s callous it’s heinous
Can you hear
Can you hear
Can you hear
Can your hear
Hush now my child go off to sleep
When will you find that your soul I will keep
Can you hear
Can you hear
Can you hear
Can you hear
Return now my child all is not lost for comes a table but then comes the cross
Your suffering is much and the sun she shines bright
But when she finally goes to rest you’ll be at my right side
I’ve been going to bed in all the old places
Dreaming of demons with familiar faces
They look just like loved ones but with tighter embraces
They say we’ve seen your heart and it’s callous it’s heinous
The sky may be tempting be we are your roots
If you sever us and bleed out then what will that prove
Because you can cry out and scream out and bleed out and pray
But what if God don’t come down, what if you can’t be saved
So I stuck out my neck to see if they’d follow through
And I heard a small voice that was wrapped up in truth it said
If your heart is still beating then you are my son
I’ve prepared a feast while you’ve been on the run
Your insults forgotten they’re dead and they’re gone
So you’re free to come home back to where you belong
Believing through blindness that I’ll escape those dear fears
If only my hunger was for righteousness sweet
And only my mind didn’t stain my own feet
How long how long were you thinking you could hide
The fig tree is rotting now by your shame birthed by pride
I’ve been going to bed in all the old places
Dreaming of demons with familiar faces
They look just like loved ones but with tighter embraces
They say we’ve seen your heart and it’s callous it’s heinous
Your blood and your body fill me with guilt
And fill me with purity there my salvation is built
Each sin that I’ve hidden strikes a spear in your side
But I cannot find your saving face for you blood is in my eyes
I’ve been going to bed in all the old places
Dreaming of demons with familiar faces
They look just like loved ones but with tighter embraces
They say we’ve seen your heart and it’s callous it’s heinous
Can you hear
Can you hear
Can you hear
Can your hear
Hush now my child go off to sleep
When will you find that your soul I will keep
Can you hear
Can you hear
Can you hear
Can you hear
Return now my child all is not lost for comes a table but then comes the cross
Your suffering is much and the sun she shines bright
But when she finally goes to rest you’ll be at my right side
I’ve been going to bed in all the old places
