Keyoung - I To Me lyrics

[Intro] Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh Ooh, ooh [Repeat] [Verse 1] Just a Midwest boy with shin splints mistook for growing pains On the side just running wind sprints thinking I'm in a race But the pace was set by shameful words Clattering hooves of a demonic dirge Heavy chains rattle from a wordless throat Self-induced headaches from walls and knuckles I prayed as a child to bring heaven to earth As an adult I hoped to leave this world first Chariot of fire ascension Collapsed lung dissension If it ended in new body redemption Then they were synonyms in my brain But the past dictates the present like a wound dictates the sting Not a lesson I'd thought I swallow at the age of 23 It sat lead heavy at the bottom, starving man eating stones Found out you can look through windows even if you've shut door [Chorus] Mercy greater than judgement Knowledge over hate Love before emotion Sincerity covers all mistakes Mercy greater than judgement Knowledge over hate Love before emotion Sincerity covers all mistakes [Verse 2] They say some will die a thousand times but I'm fine with pa**ing twice No more going out on broken limbs I'm not just living now but I'm alive When I was younger the thought of dying brought a smile of relief to my lips Nowadays it fills my soul with unease 'cos of life goals I'd have to miss Nights occupied in discussion with my wife of what we'll name our kids I want my skin to remember every scraped knee I have to kiss Every report card and every lie my kids confess Learning again how to be a conversationalist When my child speaks the language of the Heavenlies A reflection of a gla** sea In front of me reflected in the whites of their eyes Because the truth belongs to God The yearnings of my heart are mine I pray to the Father that even once in awhile the sun and moon align But I'll let myself be eclipsed I'm a tattered sail blown by the winds Just a deceitful heart clinging to a promise given to it So if I lay down tomorrow then I will gladly rest My life's been a run on sentence in need of a period [Chorus] Mercy greater than judgement Knowledge over hate Love before emotion Sincerity covers all mistakes Mercy greater than judgement Knowledge over hate Love before emotion Sincerity covers all mistakes
