The Wound Is Where The Light Gets In

I was halfway up the mountain
When the rocks I held gave way
I came tumbling like an avalanche
To the bottom where I lay
And with the taste of blood
And the twist of bone
My healing could begin

Cause the wound
Is where the light
The wound is where the light
The wound is where the light gets in

I have stood there like a hostage
With a knife held to my vein
Captive to the poison
That I took to numb the pain
Cause everybody wishes
They were born with thicker skin

But the wound is where the light
The wound is where the light
The wound is where the light gets in

It's tricky how the heart works
When the break ups
And the big jerks
Make us never wanna hurt that way again
Maybe I'm naive
But in every scar I see
The place where love
Is trying to break in
Cause the wound
Is where the light gets in

You can recognize a saint
By the scars they don't disguise
You can pick a real sinner
By the kindness in their eyes
So if you're stumbling in the dark
And bleeding at the shin
Remember the wound
Is where the light
The wound is where the light
The wound is where the light gets in

The wound is where the light
The wound is where the light
The wound is where the light gets in
