My Own Rapture
Your Name In Vain Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
And I feel the boat - I feel it sinking
This could be coming through me
I know no better way
To get this message out of me
So sing a prayer for you, and scream your name
But I won't be sleeping
Awake inside your room, these sheets are stained in my regret
Well I beg to you my only question.
Would you wash my hands of all my sin to make me whole again?
I feel this fire burning... I can't let this flame burn out
I swear I'll fight to get to you, and every day
I'll spill my heart for you until I find the truth. Can you feel it?
Oh yeah
Awake inside your room, these sheets are stained in my regret
Well I beg to you my only question.
Would you wash my hands of all my sin to make me whole again?
I'm hopeless... A stranger to this love
But stop and listen, I need to be heard
So save me now... Before this Winter draws me in
With my life inside your hands I need an answer
Would you wash my hands of all my sin to make me whole again?
Awake inside your room, these sheets are stained in my regret
Well I beg to you my only question.
Would you wash my hands of all my sin to make me whole again?
Would you make me whole again?
