Lyrics

They spoke in quiet voices
Like the walls might understand
Every word they whispered
Pointed right at where I stand
Said some storms are necessary
Said some wounds must be allowed
But I was just a child there
In the middle of the crowd
They said it was the only way
To keep the wolves from coming in
I was the sacrificial lamb
On the altar of their peace
Everyone kept their comfort
While they handed me the grief
They washed their hands of everything
Said it's just the way life goes
But someone had to bleed that night
And I was the one they chose
Sunday smiles and photographs
All the stories stayed the same
Like the truth was something fragile
Like the truth was something shame
Years went by before I noticed
What the silence really meant
How a family stays together
When one heart is badly spent
They said it was the only way
To keep the wolves from coming in
I was the sacrificial lamb
On the altar of their peace
Everyone kept their comfort
While they handed me the grief
They washed their hands of everything
Said it's just the way life goes
But someone had to bleed that night
And I was the one they chose
But lambs grow horns when they survive
And scars can sharpen into knives
The quiet child they left behind
Learned how to stand and redefine
I was the sacrificial lamb
Or at least that was their plan
But the one they thought would break apart
Became a stronger kind of man
You can build a lie for comfort
You can hide behind the past
But lambs that live through sacrifice
Are the ones who outlast
You called it fate
You called it love
You called it what you had to say
But lambs don't stay lambs forever
Once they walk away.
