Chasing South - Years Lyrics

Remember your talk of hope
You were at peace with who you'd been
Thumb through the pages and see you
So anorexic thin

You taught me everything I know
So don't turn back on it now
Remember when I was so small
I always thought you'd show me how

Years have gone on, but your look's the same
Just smile, wave, and lie; you still carry the pain

We dissect ourselves to remove what makes us weak
Under bright fluorescent lights, everyone sees through these sheets
We digress ourselves to remove what makes us hollow
And we turn our backs on God when it should be from ourselves

Years have gone on, but your look's the same
I'm older now, a man, and I'm not to blame

I'm not to blame

And when life rains down on me, I find grace on my knees
And sweet forgiveness is found at your feet
