Oh my love, I'm incomplete
And I feel it burning deep inside of me
And I ran for shelter
Seeking mercy from the storm
But there was nothing I could hide beneath

I'm not afraid, of losing everything
If I could only find some peace
If I could only find some peace
Of mind again

'cause this is how it feels
To be drowned in holy water
You burn the only thing you love
To make you stronger
And in the end you're left with
Nothing but the ashes
And the chance to start again

My hands are shaking
They're calloused and used
They search for something
They can't hold on to
And you keep changing
And the silence is proof you never needed me
The way that I have needed you

And I'm not afraid
'cause I've given everything
And I've got nothing left to loose
Oh I've got nothing left to loose
Except the shame

'cause this is how it feels to be
Drowned in holy water
You burn the only thing you love
To make you stronger
And in the end you're left with
Nothing but the ashes
And the chance to start again

You hear a voice when you have fallen
An open heart to let you in
And you tilt you head up to the heaven
Ain't nothing out there
But the howling of the wind

This is how it feels

'cause this is how it feels to be
Drowned in holy water
You burn the only thing you love
To make you stronger
And in the end you're left with
Nothing but the ashes
And the chance to start again
