Break Your Knees

Breaks your knees and leaves you so the sun can burn you up
And wear you out
It's an angry summer
There's no room to smile when the face you make
Just before you cry looks so young
Like a child

The sun will set
On this my dear
Your labors aren't in vain
You're blistered and
You're burned from it
Your wounds are gonna heal

Life on earth will end for all conceived and prove
To be only a breath
A mist
A womb for what's to come
How soon
Forever arrives

The sun will set
On this my dear
Your labors aren't in vain
You're blistered and
You're burned from it
Your wounds are gonna heal

Steadfast my love
The end is near
Just keep your eyes ahead
Grab hold of me
I'll help you there
You're never on your own
You're never all alone
Life on earth will end for all conceived and prove
To be only a breath
A mist
A womb for what's to come
How soon
Forever arrives
Breaks your knees
And leaves you so the sun can burn you up
And wear you out
It's an angry summer
Don't look at the past again the first and last
Has made everything new
And you are too
So lift your head
And let your story be told
Life on earth will end for all conceived and prove
To be only a breath
A mist
A womb for what's to come
How soon
Forever arrives…

The sun will set
On this my dear
Your labors aren't in vain (Forever arrives…)
You're blistered and
You're burned from it
Your wounds are gonna heal (Forever arrives…)
The sun will set
On this my dear
Your labors aren't in vain
The sun will set (Life on earth will end for all conceived and prove)
On this my dear (To be only a breath) (A mist)
Your labors aren't in vain (A womb for what's to come) (How soon) (Forever arrives)
