"Marking My Time" lyrics

"Marking My Time"

Hm-hm, hm-hm, mm
Mm, mm-mm, mm

Send me the prayer I'm missing
Because I need the sign
And even though I'm listening, mm
It's gonna take awhile

Wanna set my soul on fire
Get me out this hole, I'm tired
Wanna set my soul on fire
Get me out this hole, I'm tired
Wanna set my soul on fire
Free me from this world I've found so frail
Wanna set my soul on fire
Free me from this world I've found so frail
Wanna set my soul on fire
Get me out this hole, too tired to stand
Wanna set my
Wanna set my
Wanna set my
Oh-oh, I

Oh, I've been, oh, I've been unfine
Blunt knives on my side
That is our reality
Holding my breath
I've been dying
Obeying all my life
That is our reality, hmm, hmm
Yeah, yeah

Now every line I question
Am I afraid to be
Someone who learned a lesson
Amongst the evergreens?
Mm-mm, oh-oh, oh

Wanna set my soul on fire
Free me from this world I've found so frail
Wanna set my soul on fire
Free me from this world I've found so frail
Wanna set my soul on fire
Get me out this hole, too tired to stand
Wanna set my
Wanna set my
Wanna set my
Oh-oh

I've been, oh, I've been unfine
Blunt knives on my side
That is our reality
Holding my breath
I've been dying
Obeying all my life
That is our reality

'Cause I, I've lied
I've tried
I've loved
I've lived
I've died
I will survive
I've, I've lied
I've tried
I've loved
I've lived
I've died
I will survive
Oh, baby
Marking my time on
Feeling my own skin crawl
Marking my time on
My own advice is killing me
My own advice is eating me
Now
Send me the prayer I'm missing
Am I amongst the living?
Am I afraid to be?

Wanna set my soul on fire
Get me out this hole, I'm tired
