Survey of Self Songtext
von Hangnail

My eyes are open wide
And I can′t stand the view
Of what's been held inside
It runs much deeper than skin
It′s more than casual
And I'm defecting again
(My senses are getting slow)

When I fall flat on my face
I know for sure
I feel secure
That you won't give up on me
I′ve been there countless times before
You′ve never failed
You never walked out on me


I'll never comprehend the grace you′ve shown to me
Your patience has no end
I want to give you a return on your investment in me
Something I've never earned
(Something that I can show)

When I fall flat on my face
I know for sure
I feel secure
That you won′t give up on me
I've been there countless times before
You′ve never failed
You never walked out on me

I'm aware you're looking over me constantly
A prodigal is coming home
I′m aware you′re waiting there for me constantly
A prodigal is cominng home today
He's on his way


When I fall flat on my face
I know for sure
I feel secure
That you won′t give up on me
I've been there countless times before
You′ve never failed
You never walked out on me
