The Song That Holds Us Still Lyrics - After The Sirens

"Carry me when my legs give out," he says. 

We did not expect this bramble, 

this thick of thorns. 

You always see us running to anywhere 

but where we're meant to, 

the belly of the sea. 

Breathing in the womb, 

the surrogate mouth of divinity. 

And we're scraping our hands across 

our skinny wrists, 

These skinny wrists. 

We have seen Your labor: 

this looming mountain, 

this foaming sea, 

this endless field of briars. 

We have seen You. 

I want to tell You when I see You 

that I've done the best with what I've had 

just like You did. 

We want Your favor 

and I'll ask again tomorrow.
