Sheepskin ft. The Burden Lyrics

You were gonna make me whole

You were gonna save my soul

Did everything we could to stave off hell

But every day we slowly lost ourselves

Before the walls could close in

I should've doubted you were chosen

You wear the cloth

Like wolves wear sheepskin

And all of us are lost

So close your eyes

'cause heaven knows what's hiding in our minds

So pure inside

Does heaven know what's hiding in our minds? (in our minds)

Blow the doors and set the captives free

Deliver justice like a mighty stream

I doubt that you even remember me

But my body has never

Forgotten the memory

The memory

Is this the life I was meant to lead?

Is this the vision that was in your dreams?

I doubt that you even remember me

But I can never forget

I can never believe

So close your eyes

'cause heaven knows what's hiding in our minds

So pure inside

Does heaven know what's hiding in our minds?

Were there ever moments

When your conscience spoke

Before I stood before you

I am crucified, you

Enjoy the privileges society grants

While systemic abstractions indemnify you

Sensations, always sensations, but never language

Can't say it out loud, so I continue to languish

How can you tell me I'm saved

When you have taken my ability

To ever truly feel safe again?

They say hell is what we've chosen, but I know that's a ruse

The only choice we made was fucking trusting you

But I've learned that in the end I still hope there's a God

Not to see heaven, but to see you burn

Beg for a second chance

You tied a rope around heaven's neck

And now the wolves are closing in

You don't get to change how the story ends

Don't close your eyes

'cause heaven knows what's hiding in our minds

'cause heaven knows what's hiding

'cause heaven knows what's hiding in our minds

Like wolves wear sheepskin
