lyrics

Born of blood and of water.
Chasing after a preacher's daughter.
My mistakes are my own.
My faith is my own.
Tired hands. Tired feet.
A man of unclean lips, and my lips repeat,
"Leave me alone."
Just leave me alone.

I've only got so much that's keeping me here
in this world that's not my home.

I'm full of love. Full of hate.
Full of hope in the times I don't lose my faith.
If I could just hold on...
It's here and it's gone and it's here and it's gone.
Praise the one who set me free...
But I'm not sure if he knew it was me.
Sing a terrible song...
and just carry on...

It's getting so much harder to face my demons down.
They've been here so long.

I'm a man and I'm a child.
I will wash my hands as the crowd goes wild.
I meant it with love,
but push came to shove.
Peaceful beast in my heart,
but these days my heart seems so stop and start.
Grace is enough.
But sometimes it's too much.

Some days, it all seems worth it in the end.
But the nighttime gets rough.

Some days, it all seems worth it in the end...

Wheel within a Wheel

Grace Basement's driving force is Kevin Buckley. I went to high school with him and he was a great musician even then. Like fine wine, his music has gotten even more wonderful over time. Derek Brink
