I May Know the Word

Lyrics
I may know the wordBut not say itI may know the truthBut not face it
I may hear a soundA whisperSacred and profoundBut turn my head indifferent
I may know the wordBut not say itI may love the fruitBut not taste it
I may know the wayTo comfort andTo soothe a worried faceBut fold my hands indifferent
If I'm on my knees, I'm begging nowIf I'm on my knees gropin' in the darkI'd be praying for deliveranceFrom the night into the day
But it's all gray hereIt's all gray hereBut it's all gray to me
I may know the wordBut not say itThis may be the timeBut I might waste it
Though this may be the hourSomething move meSomeone, prove me wrongBefore night comes with indifference
If I'm on my knees, I'm begging nowIf I'm on my knees gropin' in the darkI'd be praying for deliveranceFrom the night into the day
If I'm on my knees, I'm begging nowIf I'm on my knees gropin' in the darkI'd be praying for deliveranceFrom the night into the day
But it's all gray hereIt's all gray hereBut it's all gray to me
I recognize the walls insideI recognize them allI've paced between themChasing demons down until they fall
In fitful sleep, enough to keep their strengthEnough to crawl into my headWith tangled threads, they riddle me to solveAgain and again and again
And again
