Lyrics

[00:30.84] I'm saved
[00:33.77] You pull my fingers out the dirt,
[00:41.64] You pluck me wriggling from the world
[00:48.87]
[00:55.86] I'm saved
[00:58.36] You cast me up into the wind,
[01:08.22] You shuck my body from its skin
[01:13.08]
[01:21.45] I'm saved
[01:24.82] Fire licking at the walls,
[01:31.05]
[01:32.87] You drag me burning across the coals
[01:39.61]
[02:01.82] I'm ashamed
[02:04.69]
[02:06.38] Lying fallen on some stair,
[02:12.61]
[02:14.12] Clutching at the empty air
[02:18.36]
[02:26.47] I'm awake
[02:29.65] I see you walk into the room,
[02:36.64]
[02:37.38] And do the thing I couldn't do
[02:43.19]
[02:50.43] I'm afraid
[02:53.37] My burning footprints on the floor,
[03:01.73] Things I don't need anymore
[03:06.42]
[03:36.00] I'll wait
