lyrics

I have read the grief of the world in your eyes
But still you manage to bear the most beautiful of smiles
When I am lost inside myself
The light of your harmless face shines on the midnight of my mind
You are the knife I cut myself with
And let the bad pour out

I was desperate for your touch, but my skin let go
Instead I fell into the depths of your infinite wholeness
And I won’t give my heart away anew
Until Death itself wears the face of you

You catch the words that I never speak
And suffer the anger that I cannot but breathe
Even when I am pulling punches you see me get beaten
When I am allowing conventions to render me meek
And for all the wars I fight with my eyes closed
You dress my wounds while silently suffering yours
You have seen the hide I hide under these clothes
But you surmounted your fears and now you refuse to let go

Worldly everything is nothing
Everything is .You. are all
But do you really want to see this anger bled from father to son?
