Thorn by Zoetic Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Take a look at my smiling face
It won't betray what's underneath
Pain like no one could believe
Torn between my humanity and all of my theology
What are the things that I should pray?
Should I still ask if I have not received?

[Verse 2]
Am I too much of a burden, God?
'Cause my burden makes me cling
To the life I'm passing by
And every prayer that I bring to You
They appear to fall back down
To my folded knees
The silence is deafening

[Bridge]
Just hold back the sting
Enough for me to first breathe
In the strength I'll need
There is a thorn stuck through me
Cemented to where I first believed
(Waiting, praying)
What I can't bear alone, You are bearing for me
You've suffered far greater things
Leaving the thorn inside me
You slay me, yet I will still believe
[Synth Solo]

[Outro]
Oh, just hold back the sting
Enough for me to first breathe
In the strength I'll need
There is a thorn stuck through me
Cemented to where I first believed
(Waiting, praying)
What I can't bear alone, You are bearing for me
You've suffered far greater things
Leaving the thorn inside me
You slay me, yet I will still believe
Oh, I will still believe
Oh, I will still believe
