Out Of Promises

That long red hair
Those long black robes
A window opens
The curtains close
This stubborn heart broken on the wheel
You struggle forward through the darkness
You don’t know what you feel

Say the word
Take the knife and cut us all apart if it’ll give you back your life
'cause you’re out of promises that you can’t keep
You’re out of promises
You let the water run too deep now you’re out of promises

So dream the dream of a child
Someone to love you until you die
Someone close who’d never judge
Someone to listen to your heartbreak no matter what it was
Pray for rain
Fight for air
You said it’d always come but you know it’s not quite there
Now you’re out of promises that you can’t keep
You’re out of promises
You keep talking in your sleep but you’re out of promises

When the lion kills the lamb can you take it like a man?
When all we want is mercy
A little bit of mercy
And could you be a better man?
Well you do the best you can
All we want is mercy
A little bit of mercy
’cause we’re out of promises that we can’t keep
We’re out of promises
We let the water run too deep now we’re out of promises
Say the word
We’re out of promises
We let the warning go unheard now we’re out of promises
