These quiet words, they carry me away. Returning, they keep coming back.
In idle thoughts and hollow cut-aways. Disarm me, no will to attack.
Though the sorrow and fear they may depart you today.
I will fail you, of that I'm sure. I will remind you of the pain forevermore.
And when my sins are just a memory, faith restored, I will fail you to the core.
Lost in the shadow of an endless grace. Relentless, my reign is unbound.
In this abandon I will devastate. Dismember, till agony"s found.
Though the sorrow and fear they may depart you today.
I will fail you, of that I'm sure. I will remind you of the pain forevermore.
And when my sins are just a memory, faith restored, I will fail you to the core.
I know they prey upon me. I feel them just beyond my door.
I will fail you, of that I'm sure. I will remind you of the pain forevermore.
And when my sins are just a memory, faith restored, I will fail you to the core.
I will fail you, of that I'm sure. I will remind you of the pain forevermore.
And when my sins are just a memory, faith restored, I will fail you to the core.
Behind the Song:
'It can be easy to put people on a pedestal of unrealistic expectation. We often forget that every single one of us, no matter how seemingly perfect on the outside, is a broken individual. I've made it a point to be transparent about this in my own life through my lyrics. I never want to give the impression that I have it all figured out, or that every struggle lies behind me. It can be very freeing to understand that everyone, at some point, will fail. They will fail God, they will fail themselves, and they will fail you. Understanding grace and forgiveness is the only way to spare yourself the disappointment of the human condition.' - Ryan Clark
