gain Lyrics

I have a sinking in my stomach

And aches that run through my bones

I've found an emptiness to conversation

That makes me feel so at home

I've lost reason in feelings

Our hearts speak deceit

And the longer that I live

The more I fail to see

I long to lay my head to the dirt

And know that I've done all I could

A great many things in life I will never know

And I've come to understand that knowing is not what matters most

A'lot I've to say your ears wouldn't keep

As lungs fail to give the thanks each breath should weep

To hear well done is more than I deserve

All the same it's all I hope for

There's a fullness to this life that is double edged

A language we interpret

An art we counterfeit

Tell me if this is all there is

Why that conviction is so very hard to admit

Tell me do you count the cost?

A soul is quite a lot to be lost
