State the Odds - Slowly Smite Me Lyrics

Through longing stares that overcome me
The darkness and fear that slowly seep
I always bring down, tear apart, the ones that try best for me
The wall has been built, the mortar's been laid
And if you're on the wrong side, then convince me why I should let you back in
Let you consume me, like you did when you were

Above me
King Herod would be the only one who'd accept me
And take me to that place, take me to that place

Into shades of grey, and slowly slowly smite me
Holding me back, don't hold me back
Though all of your light, your beams won't grab me
We tried to cross the Beresnia Bay, the waters formed as we gave away
Our lungs laid heavy as our blood ran cold, but you wouldn't, you wouldn't let me

Drown
King Herod would be the only one who'd accept me
And take me to the place, take me to the place, where the road it winds
And you won't find, a shimmer of hope, for the ones that care
Christ himself wouldn't even care

For the blood I bled no tears were shed
Standing too fast can make you fall down, so while you're down
Take a look around to see, all the things I missed
All the things I made a mess, but let me guess, you won't be leaving me
Don't place your trust in me, I'll only

Disappoint you
King Herod would be the only one who'd accept me
And take me to the place, take me to the place, where the road it winds
And you won't find, a shimmer of hope, for the ones that care
Christ himself wouldn't even care

I paid all of my debts with no regrets
I paid all of my debts with no regrets
So let this road wind
Let this road wind
Let this road wind
Let this road wind
Because you would still be standing there

King Herod would be the only one who'd accept me
And take me to the place, take me to the place, where the road it winds
And you won't find, a shimmer of hope, for the ones that care
Christ himself wouldn't even care
