Lyrics

Here I lie again
Inside this broken body
Wrestle against the tree
My muscles aching

To get up now is death
To die is to really live
My flesh is restless, twisting
Spasms in my back increasing

Splinter me (splinter me)
Splinter me (splinter me)
My heart, my head
Splinter me

Here I think again
To try to solve this puzzle
What is not yours, I don't want
My mind aching

To reconstruct my thoughts
Or let it blow away
You are all knowing
Changing, yeah, you're killing me

Splinter me (splinter me)
Splinter me (splinter me)
My heart, my head
Splinter me

Jesus whispered softly
Jesus shouted it out
His Kingdom body coming
But we nail him up and hate each other

Splinter me (splinter me)
Splinter me (splinter me)
My broken body
Splinter me

Splinter me (splinter me)
Splinter me (splinter me)
My broken body
Splinter me
