"The Crumbs (Acoustic)" lyrics

Just follow the crumbs to find where I've run
The sound of a six-string strung out on love
Follow the battles
The stems and the seeds
And all of the hallow
That I seen to leave

Just follow the teardrops
The ash and the smoke
A prayer for the hopeless is all I can hope
'Cause underneath the tattoos and all the scars
On this dead-end road, I found a brand-new start

All along the borders of my damaged past
And inside the corners of a "Glad" sandwich bag
Through my self-destruction and bridges I've burned
You'd think that by now, that I would've learned
To stop leaving the crumbs

I nearly ate the gun a time or five
Over all the mess that I've left behind
The shot hit the heavens, while I felt the hell
But I found the purpose in a lone empty shell

'Cause all along the borders of my damaged past
And inside the corners of a "Glad" sandwich bag
Through my self-destruction and bridges I've burned
You'd think that by now, I would've learned
To stop leaving the crumbs

'Cause all along the borders of my perfect past
Baptized in a river of purpose at last
And God has perfect timing
Imagine Him on the drums
And rain down on me
And wash away the crumbs
