Lyrics

Sleep in the morning, ignore light from your window
Glow through your eyelids, streaks of red in the shadow
Sharing the sunlight with the ones that eclipse you
They’re blind when you’re in pain, and they’re deaf when you say so
Show me a beacon that can shine under flood lights
Cross on the front door, X’s over the street signs
Pace to the far wall, put your back to the corner
Ache in your fingers creeping up into your spine
And every day
It takes a different shape
Locking my eyes and now I can’t look away
You found me so far from where you landed
Bullets in your teeth, but empty handed
Evil has a place I knew I’d find it
In between the roots of everything I know
Cling to the switchblade that you take when you leave home
The fear that you let show when you’re sure that you’re alone
Digging your nails into your forearm to stay up
You hate what they’ve shown you and you fear what you don’t know
And every day
I hope the joy that they take
Comes back to haunt them
Follows them to the grave
You found me so far from where you landed
Bullets in your teeth, but empty handed
Evil has a place I knew I’d find it
In between the roots of everything I know
Show me the whites of your eyes
Bloodshot behind your disguise
Seeing outside of my self
(Cut me open, cut me open)
Stay on your side of the line
(Cut me open, see what’s broken)
Seeing outside of myself
Stay on your side of the line
You found me so far from where you landed
Bullets in your teeth, but empty handed
Evil has a place I knew I’d find it
In between the roots of everything I know
Cut me open, cut me open
Cut me open, see what’s broken
Cut me open, cut me open
Cut me open, see what’s broken
