I've tried all my keys in the lock I've built hundred-story monuments to me, I mean, to you It seems every stone I throw ripples the water in ways I'll never know Down below My accomplishments take me by the hand Coaxing me to hell or to the promised land And I'll go, I'll go, I'll pack up and go So long as I don't have to go alone My hands are raw and overworked From trying to wash your color off my shirt It's like you belong here If I'd only thought to ask If I'd only rung the bell on your door If I'd only prayed to God I'd be out of this whale, in your house once more O the noise! Redemption drops my wrist Leaving me to hell for one last kiss And I'll go, I'll go, but I don't want to go Because everyone has to go alone O the noise! Keeping me from sleep In the belly of a whale down deep in the sea Swimming far from all I've done and made- Only now, I'm content to let it fade Only now, I'm content Dancing in circles, watching my feet move I'm going under, but I'm going somewhere (O!, you're not what I want) (But good God, you're what I need) Only now, I'm content to let it fade
