Twitching Tongues

I Fell From Grace Feet First

Twitching Tongues


Hope and innocence, two things quite easily lost
Painful pleasures produce no pain today
For my own well being, not for that of another

I fell from Grace feet first

Talk, whisper, shout, I can’t hear you
No agenda forced, won’t follow you
Lecture, torment, preach, It’s still not true
Fall, fall, I will catch you

Extending a hand to those I know
But all I feel back is spit on my palm
To believe you must have faith, and that’s something I can’t grasp

I fell from Grace feet first
Fear and shame, a knack since birth
Oppressing hope will claim you all
Come, take my hand and fall

Do I need faith to regain my hope?
Do I need faith to take back my innocence?
Faith is not hope. Hope is not faith

I fell from Grace feet first

For my own well being, not for that of another
To believe you must have faith, and that’s something I can’t grasp
Hope is not faith. Hope is real

I fell from Grace feet first
Fear and shame, a knack since birth
Oppressing hope will claim you all
Come, take my hand and fall

Hope will claim you all
Take my hand and fall
