Wound Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There you are, as you always were
In bathing light, and naked blur
You’re a part of me, eternal one
By grand desire and setting sun

[Chorus]
If you wait, I will wait
Taste, I will taste
If you love, I will love
Run, I will run
To my last breath

[Post-Chorus 1]
Last night I turned around and thought I saw myself turning
Inside the strangest dream of life, unloved and cities burning

[Verse 2]
Awake in my arms you cry unharmed
Our age of the hours while they still devour all
So take it all, I doubt if we will know it’s gone
‘Cause we’ve been here since time began
Begged God awake and make these plans

[Bridge]
Wound opens, reveal this broken man
And soon there’s notions of blood on his hands
[Chorus]
If you wait, I will wait
Taste, I will taste
If you love, I will love
Run, I will run
To my last breath

[Post-Chorus 2]
Last night I turned around and thought I saw myself turning
Last night I turned around and thought I watched the world ending
Inside the crushing down I felt a pang, the tide was turning

[Bridge]
Destroyed in the wake
The jealous ingrates
Who’ll tear this world down
To spite God above
With his own love
With his own love

[Outro]
If you wait, if you wait
If you wait, I will wait
Taste, I will taste
If you love, I will love
Run, I will run
To my last breath

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
