I May Know the Word

I may know the word
But not say it
I may know the truth
But not face itI may hear a sound
A whisper
Sacred and profound
But turn my head indifferentI may know the word
But not say it
I may love the fruit
But not taste itI may know the way
To comfort and
To soothe a worried face
But fold my hands indifferentIf I'm on my knees, I'm begging now
If I'm on my knees gropin' in the dark
I'd be praying for deliverance
From the night into the dayBut it's all grey here
It's all grey here
But it's all grey to meI may know the word
But not say it
This may be the time
But I might waste itThough this may be the hour
Something move me
Someone prove me wrong
Before night comes with indifferenceIf I'm on my knees, I'm begging now
If I'm on my knees gropin' in the dark
I'd be praying for deliverance
From the night into the dayIf I'm on my knees, I'm begging now
If I'm on my knees gropin' in the dark
I'd be praying for deliverance
From the night into the dayBut it's all grey here
It's all grey here
But it's all grey to meI recognize the walls inside
I recognize them all
I've paced between them
Chasing demons down until they fallIn fitful sleep, enough to keep their strength
Enough to crawl into my head
With tangled threads, they riddle me to solve
Again and again and again and again
