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
