The Wind & Spark

Andy Black


I hold my breath underwater
Waiting for the tide to turn
I read from books of the prophets
Sleeping as the pages burn

Don't want to go back to that dark place again
I’ll never go back to the darkness

Stay here
Everything I hold in my heart
I leave it to the wind and the spark
I'll give it all up
’Cause I don't know how pain feels anymore
Stay here
Everything I scream from the heart
I leave it to the wind and the spark
I burn it all down
'Cause I don't know myself much anymore

I feel the words of the gospel
Telling me I'll never learn
I gave my life to a purpose
Here in death I am reborn

Don't want to go back to that dark place again
I’ll never go back to the darkness

Stay here
Everything I hold in my heart
I leave it to the wind and the spark
I'll give it all up
’Cause I don't know how pain feels anymore
Stay here
Everything I scream from the heart
I leave it to the wind and the spark
I burn it all down
’Cause I don't know myself much anymore

Deep down with all the sins I keep in my mind
I give you all the love I can find
I write them all down and
I don't feel so empty anymore
Drowning, waters that are blessed with their wine
I'm swimming through the scars of time
I'll crawl myself out
So I don't end up hopeless anymore
I don't end up hopeless anymore

Stay here
Everything I hold in my heart
I leave it to the wind and the spark
I'll give it all up
'Cause I don't know how pain feels anymore
Stay here
Everything I scream from the heart
I leave it to the wind and the spark
I burn it all down
'Cause I don't know myself much anymore
