0:01I just spoke silence with the seeker next to me
0:06She had a heart with hesitant halting speech
0:12That turned to mine and asked belligerently
0:17What do I live for
0:23I see the scars of searches everywhere I go
0:28From hearts to wars to literature to radio
0:34Theres a question like a shame no one will show
0:39What do I live for
0:45We are Hoseas wife we are squandering this life
0:51Using people like ladders and words like knives
0:56If weve eyes to see if weve ears to hear
1:00To find it in our hearts and mouths
1:03The word that saves is near
1:06Shed that shallow skin they come and live again
1:11Leave all you were before to believe is to begin
1:18There is truth in little corners of our lives
1:23There are hints of it in songs and childrens eyes
1:29Its familiar like an ancient lullaby
1:35What do I live for
1:40We are Hoseas wife we are squandering this life
1:46Using bodies like money and truth like lies
1:50If weve eyes to see if weve ears to hear
1:55To find it in our hearts and mouths
1:58The word that saves is near
2:01Shed that shallow skin come and live again
2:07Leave all you were before to believe is to begin
2:14We are more than dust
2:18That means something that means something
2:25We are more than just
2:29Blood and emotions inklings and notions
2:35Atoms on oceans
2:41We are Hoseas wife we are squandering this life
2:47Using people like ladders and words like knives
2:54If weve eyes to see if weve ears to hear
2:59To find it in our hearts and mouths
3:02The word that saves is near
3:05Shed that shallow skin come and live again
3:10Leave all you were before to believe is to begin
3:16If weve eyes to see if weve ears to hear
3:21To find it in our hearts and mouths
3:24The word that saves is near
3:27Shed that shallow skin come and live again
3:32Leave all you were before to believe is to begin
3:40To believe is to begin to believe is to begin
3:51To believe is to begin
