Oh my love, I'm incomplete.
And I feel it burning deep inside of me.
And I ran for shelter,
Seeking mercy from the storm
But there was nothing I could hide beneath.
I'm not afraid, of losing everything.
If I could only find some peace.
If I could only find some peace
Of mind again.
'Cause this is how it feels to be drowned in holy water.
You burn the only thing you love
To make you stronger.
And in the end you're left with
Nothing but the ashes
And the chance to start again.
My hands are shaking, they're calloused and used,
They search for something they can't hold on to
And you keep changing,
And the silence is proof you never needed me
The way that i have needed you.
And I'm not afraid,
'Cause I've given everything.
And i've got nothing left to loose.
Oh i've got nothing left to loose.
Except the shame,
'Cause this is how it feels to be
Drowned in holy water.
You burn the only thing you love
To make you stronger.
And in the end you're left with
Nothing but the ashes
And the chance to start again.
You hear a voice when you have fallen,
An open heart to let you in.
And you tilt you head up to the heaven
Ain't nothing out there but the howling of the wind
This is how it feels.
'Cause this is how it feels to be
Drowned in holy water.
You burn the only thing you love
To make you stronger.
And in the end you're left with
Nothing but the ashes
And the chance to start again.
