"Voice In My Knives" lyrics

"Voice In My Knives"

When the heart you shouldn't lose becomes estranged
Oh, yeah
Who'll fix the pain?
And the lineage of trauma just won't break
Let it rain

Listen to the call
It's going to rain
So let it rain
That voice in the knives
Sheltered by night

When the options, they have crumbled
When the absolutes refuse to let you go
What festers in your heart
They lost you as a child
And you never wanted them to look away
Just look away
Now the time has come, I fear that it's too late

When the penance for sedition blinds the flock
Yes, it does
But the branded nervous system still remains
They all knew
That voice in my knives
Shielded by the night

Oh, the coffers that you've filled will never rust
Let it rain

In the remnants of a name only you'd remember
Don't say it because it happens every time
What festers in your heart
When they lost you as a child
And you never wanted them to look away
Just look away
Now the time has come for us to look away
