the water's gone cold, red turned to grey
soaked to the bone, I tried to wash my sins away
what a dirty mess of a tangled web I've become
now with both hands clasped
I'm praying, begging please God, undo what I've done
I can't stand to face you in the state I am
please keep your distance from me
someday this storm will end
and I will find you again
the air's growing thinner and the sky is hanging low
if I surrender my body, could the earth swallow me whole
I jumped off the ledge, I reveled in the rush
but the ground came quick
now I'm shaking, I'm shivering, I'm stunned
oh, God, what have I done
I can't stand to face you in the state I am
please keep your distance from me
someday this storm will end
and I will find you again
