Peel Back Songtext
von the forest forgets

Clawing off sanity, flesh peels back
You′re living to die, you're barely alive
Choking down gravity
Breaks our backs
It must be divine
Or so you′ve implied

To find meaning in nothing
You've taken to trusting the holy word
And I'd have to say I′d be bluffing
If I didn′t think it was a last resort
Can you give me a reason? I need it now
Why you've turned your back on this world
Your crown of thorns has you bleeding out
Fading out, burning out

You want to live for something
I share the need
So I know we have commonality
But your cold shoulder′s marked a fringe


Can't escape the feeling I let you down
Why else would you turn your back on us?
We can′t accept the notion that this was meaningless

Searching for a cause
Dial tone from God
Isolate from all you've said and done
Now you′re waiting for a call
The same is said from us

Clawing off sanity, flesh peels back
You're living to die, you're barely alive
Choking down gravity
Breaks our backs
It must be divine
Or so you′ve implied

Well if not for nothing, you′re praying again
Can't harbor contemptment from you oh my friend
But what if those pillars collapse into sand
And you′re left with the grief that you staved with those hymns
You stave with those hymns
You stave with those

When the rapture comes
Will you rise above all of us?


Jesus pull him up
Jesus pull him up
Jesus pull him up, he's gone

Every lie you read, stories been foretold
Forfeit hollow words, it′s nothing
