Clay Vessel Lyrics

As the sun goes down on the hill, I'm walking home alone

Repeating offices with downcast eyes

Every now and then, I kick the flints

Back against the wall, not to stumble and fall

Peacefully the ritual goes like the river

Next to me, nothing has really changed

On the horizon I see a crossroad coming up

And it's too late to wish it all away

I've never been what they call a lionheart

A clay vessel among the iron ones

How far can I go without stepping up?

Avoiding everything that stands in my way

Living in the comfort of habits, fears and doubts

I tell myself I've got much to lose

But now all of those words sound like an excuse

Why would I leave this life for a fresh new start?

It's tearing me apart

Truth has a threatening face

And accepts no compromise

This is no time for innocence

And I am no saint

I found protection in a cassock

And convenience in the Cross

Without craving to believe in miracles and the Holy Ghost

I thought I was safe

Same old story, life has proved me wrong

Unprepared for choosing on my own

How far can I go without stepping up?

Avoiding everything that stands in my way

Living in the comfort of habits, fears and doubts

I tell myself I've got much to lose

But now all of those words sound like an excuse

Why would I leave this life for a fresh new start?

It's tearing me apart

Apart

Devil knows my faith ain't strong enough

So tell me God what I'm supposed to do now

How far can I go without stepping up?

Avoiding everything that stands in my way

Living in the comfort of habits, fears and doubts

I tell myself I've got much to lose

But now all of those words sound like an excuse

Why would I leave this life for a fresh new start?

It's tearing me apart
