Ancient Skin by Jack Peate Lyrics

And superslow, the apple falls
If Eve don't tell, will Adam know
With fickle fit, did he create
A perfect man for you to take
You magnified to quell the pain
Who is man if this is sin?

I will go on trying
To prove a life belying
The truth I know hides gold within
'Cause the dreams I'm sowing
Always keep on growing
When tears of joy soak ancient skin

You caught the thief but let her go
In hope your grace will then bestow
A subtle song of comic time
The ripples through his sweet return

I will go on trying
To proof a life belying
The truth I know hides gold within
'Cause the dreams I'm sowing
Always keep on growing
When tears of joy soak ancient skin
(I know) What it's like to live in shame
(I know) (?) started out the game
(I know) And we were trying to see the way
(I know) I know
(I know) I know
(I know) That there was something that was here
(I know) And it could get me through the field
(I know) We've been trying to see the way
(I know) I know
(I know) I know

I will go on trying
To proof a life belying
The truth I know hides gold within
'Cause the dreams I'm sowing
Always keep on growing
When tears of joy soak ancient skin

(I know) I will go on trying
To proof a life belying
(I know) The truth I know hides gold within
(I know) 'Cause the dreams I'm sowing
Always keep on growing
(I know) When tears of joy soak ancient skin

(I know) What it's like to live in shame
(I know) (?) started out the game
(I know) And we were trying to see the way
(I know) I know
(I know) I know
(I know) That there was something that was here
(I know) And it could get me through the field
(I know) We've been trying to see the way
(I know) I know
(I know) I know
