Lyrics

"Carry me when my legs give out," he says
We did not expect this bramble
This thick of thorns
You always see us running to anywhere
But where we're meant to
The belly of the sea
Breathing in the womb
The surrogate mouth of divinity
And we're scraping our hands across
Our skinny wrists
These skinny wrists

We have seen your labor:
This looming mountain
This foaming sea
This endless field of briars
We have seen you

I want to tell you when I see you
That I've done the best with what I've had
Just like you did

We want your favor
And I'll ask again tomorrow

Oh I could not, I could not
Wait to be let out
I'll ask again tomorrow
And I will not, I will not
Be found wanting in your house
