Lyrics for Voice in my knives

When the heart you shouldn't lose becomes estranged Oh, yeah, who'll fix the pain? When the lineage of trauma just won't break Let it rain Listen to the call, it's gon' rain So let it rain That voice in the knives Shielded 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 thеm to look away (Just look away) Now the time has come, I fеar that it's too late And the penance for sedition blinds the flock Yes, it does But the branded nervous system still remains They all know That voice in my knives, shielded by night And the coffins that you filled will never rest Let it rain From the remnants of a name only you'd remember Don't say it 'cause 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 Oh-oh
