Is This Life? - Small Mercies

Face down in the dirt

I’ve crawled a thousand miles on my own

Weathered hands and wounded pride

It’s hard to find the words

I’ve searched for all my life

It’s a puzzle with the missing piece inside

Then the waves began to swell

And I’m going under

And the world came crashing down

You were the hand of the ocean, that pulled me to the shore

You were the heart of the distance, the love that broke the storm

You were the heat of evening, the arms that kept me warm

Now is this life I am living now you’ve gone?

Broken and deserted

Forgiven no, I have not earnt it yet

Too many ghosts still haunt your mind

Innocent still learning

This puzzle yeah, I’m still searching for

The missing piece that makes things right

Then the waves began to swell

And I’m going under

And the world came crashing down

You were the hand of the ocean, that pulled me to the shore

You were the heart of the distance, the love that broke the storm

You were the heat of evening, the arms that kept me warm

Now is this life I am living now you’ve gone?

What are we fighting for?

Broken and deserted

Forgiven no, I have not earnt it yet

I have not earnt it yet
