Bad Blood
Sleeping At Last
[Verse 1]
You fixed your eyes on us
Your flesh and blood
A sculpture of water
And unsettled dust

When there was bad blood in us
We learned our lessons
Genesis to the last generation

So we wrestle with it all
The concept of grace
And the faithful concrete
As it breaks our fall

Our questions are all the same
Identical words; how they feel brand new
Against different time frames
Identical words against different time frames

[Chorus]
We know it all by heart
The whole is greater
Than the sum of its parts
We've heard it all before
In beauty there echoes a speck of our source
In beauty there echoes a speck of our source
[Verse 2]
Like firewood burning bright
In the dead of winter
By only a flicker
We cling to this life

So we huddle over maps
Is it faith or prediction
Will or tradition
Until we collapse?
We argue our bearings
Until we collapse

We study our story arcs
Inherently good
Or were we broken right from the start?

Our hesitant fingerprints
Trace every mountain
Lace every valley
Until we're convinced

We know it all by heart
Every blade of grass bears our mark

In the name of being brave
Though it's just another word for being afraid
[Chorus]
We know it all by heart
The whole is so much greater
Than the sum of these parts
We've heard the truth before
For in beauty there echoes a speck of our souls
In beauty there echoes a speck of our source
In beauty there echoes a speck of our source
