Baptized In the Storm

Well now it’s too late, I’ve been baptized
My naiveness torn apart in the storm
And everything fragile’s been broken
Learned not to count on a place safe and warm

Yeah yeah yeah you know I’ve been baptized
My heart, torn apart in the storm
My soul, it has been bound and broken
Kinda wish I had never been born
Yeah you know it’ll take you, ah-ah-all of the strength you have
Just to make it through and there’s no promise to you
On what will come to be of any of the dreams that you’ve had

Ain’t no white light coming to take me
Don’t even think that one really exists
If there was, would’ve already saved me
When I was immersed in my innocence

Yeah yeah yeah you know I’ve been baptized
My heart, torn apart in the storm
My soul, it has been bound and broken
Kinda wish I had never been born
Yeah you know it’ll take you, ah-ah-all of the strength you have
Just to make it through and there’s no promise to you
On what will come to be of any of the dreams that you’ve had


Yeah in this world you better have boots on
Cuz you know that it's all getting deep
The cons and confusers in season
There is nothing sacred you’ll keep

Yeah yeah yeah you know I’ve been baptized
My heart, torn apart in the storm
My soul, it has been bound and broken
Kinda wish I had never been born
Yeah you know it’ll take you, ah-ah-all of the strength you have
Just to make it through and there’s no promise to you
On what will come to be of any of the dreams that you’ve had
