Waiting

You are waiting for me
With a clean slate
Your heart is where I can see
I can see the scars
They're on your hands
As soon as I cross the divide
I won't notice them
Your face will be
The object of my gaze

One day long ago
You took my shame
But I still cover myself
With it like a blanket

I want to shout
I want to scream
I try to understand you
For you hold the answer
To every question I ever asked

You want to be the loudest
Voice in my head
Prophets and liars
Fight for me everyday
In a battle I don't see
You've won already

You have my spirit
Take my heart
We'll go side by side
I'm not immune to your grace
No matter what I say
