Lyrics to Unfound

[Verse 1]

You gave your love to God, till he stole it from your bed and there you wept

For forty years inside of your head



[Verse 2]

You saved the written word from an almost certain death but never read

The final page of the journal you kept



[Pre-Chorus]

But long before he found you

You left your traces so permanent, so permanent



[Chorus]

Before you leave

You let him make his peace

Tie all the strands and loose ends

And honestly

I never saw him in me

But I hope someone else does

For all his fears and his flaws



[Verse 3]

Deteriorate the mind, stealing all its blinding light, now tell me

why

Is it sacrifice, for all of mankind



[Pre-Chorus]

But long before he found you

You left your traces so permanent, so permanent



[Chorus]

Before you leave

You let him make his peace

Tie all the strands and loose ends

And honestly

I never saw him in me

But I hope someone else does

For all his faith and his flaws



[Verse 4]

Carried to the deathbed, by the ones you've come to love though names are lost

“But Father, can I ask you this?

Do you ever think... will it come to this? ‘Hello, I am your son'?”



[Chorus]

Before you leave

You let him make his peace

Tie all the strands and loose ends

And honestly

I never saw him in me

But I hope someone else does

For all his faith and his flaws
