So our open wounds will bleed until our veins run dry
Now we have to take this thorn and tear it from our side
Agitated at the fault line
Still agree to disagree
You're connected to the heart but tonight we'll set you free
So swallow the knife
Carve the way for your pride
Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for night to start over again
Even now as i write this down
Our pretensions disappear
Now our impulses will bite
At the ankles of our fear
So swallow the knife
Carve the way for your pride
Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for night to start over again
Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for night to start over again
(words are spoken words are broken down)
So lets make this night
Be our best mistake
So lets take the time
To wipe the blood away
Now our hands are tied
And our world is caving in
Now our hands are tied
The problems lie within
So we pray for night to start over again
Now our hands are tied
And the problems lie within
(words are spoken words are broken down, broken down, broken down)
