Lyrics

[Verse 1]

Numb knuckles on the scripture spine

Bent pages cut my hands again

I trace the margins like a maze

Every promise eats my faith

You said You'd meet me in the dark

All I taste is dust and doubt

I keep my questions in a jar

Shake it hard

Nothing falls out

[Chorus]

This is my papercut redemption

Bleeding out on every line

If You're there

Then say something

Or just watch me cross the line

I am tearing at the heavens

Till my fingers start to slide

Losing faith in Your reflection

But I still ache

I still ache inside (hey!)

[Verse 2]

Cross hanging from the rearview swing

Rattles every time I swear

I talk to it like it talks back

Just my echo in the air

I carved Your name into my skin

Till the letters blurred and ran

If I'm created in Your image

Why do I feel less than man?

[Chorus]

This is my papercut redemption

Bleeding out on every line

If You're there

Then say something

Or just watch me cross the line

I am tearing at the heavens

Till my fingers start to slide

Losing faith in Your reflection

But I still ache

I still ache inside

[Bridge]

[Drop to almost whispered vocal over sparse guitar]

I am not Your soldier

I am not Your son

I am just the distance

Between silence and a loaded tongue

[Band slams back in

Full screams]

ARE YOU LISTENING?

OR AM I TALKING TO MYSELF?

I PULLED THE NAILS OUT

DID I FREE YOU OR MYSELF?

I DON'T WANT A HAPPY ENDING

I JUST WANT TO HEAR A SOUND

ANYTHING

ANYTHING

ANYTHING

[Final Chorus]

This is my papercut redemption

Every question

Every scar

If You won't come down and save me

I'll scream up at empty stars

I am tearing at the heavens

Till my voice is cracked and dry

I am angry

I am hopeful

I am breaking

But my hands

Still reach the sky (woah)
