Fragile

Intro

Ah-ah-ah

Miserere

Ah-ah-ah

Verse 1

Candle flickers on my altar stone

Shadows crawling up the plastered wall

Every psalm I sang has lost its tone

I reach for you but my hands are small

Pre-Chorus

And I am kneeling in the cold

Where has the mercy gone

My fragile frame of bone and soul

Barely holding on

Chorus

Fragile fragile is the vessel I have made

Fragile fragile and the light begins to fade

Lord have mercy on the clay

That crumbled when I tried to pray

Fragile fragile is the vessel I have made

Verse 2

Harpsichord repeats its hollow thread

Each note a splinter in my quiet chest

I counted rosaries until they bled

But peace is nothing I can manifest

Pre-Chorus

And I am kneeling in the cold

Where has the mercy gone

My fragile frame of bone and soul

Barely holding on

Chorus

Fragile fragile is the vessel I have made

Fragile fragile and the light begins to fade

Lord have mercy on the clay

That crumbled when I tried to pray

Fragile fragile is the vessel I have made

Bridge

Dona nobis pacem

I whisper to the dark

Dona nobis pacem

Before the spark goes out

Grant me one more hour

Grant me one more breath

Before the glass shatters

Before I fade to rest

Chorus

Fragile fragile is the vessel I have made

Fragile fragile and the light begins to fade

Lord have mercy on the clay

That crumbled when I tried to pray

Fragile fragile is the vessel I have made
