Unfound Lyrics

[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
