lyrics

I have wandered
And one thing I've found
That hate doesn't heal me
Catching a falling knife

I will catch it if you want me to
I'll do anything you want me to
I will catch it if you want me to
I'll do anything you want
I'll do anything you want me to
I'll do anything you want

I have wandered
And one thing I've found
That hate doesn't heal me
It only resounds

I am your comfort
I am your rest
I am your pillow
I am your flesh

I will catch it if you want me to
I'll do anything you want me to
I will catch it if you want me to
I'll do anything you want
I'll do anything you want me to

(Somebody has to know
Somebody has to do something
You can't do this
You can't do that to someone)

Darkness complete
Lights no candles
Water from your eyes
Mishandled
It spills
From your breaks like water
And I grew gills
So I could understand
But I can never understand your pain
When I can't even understand my own
Too close to the effigy
Consumed by the flame
The haunting sound of an emasculated man
I fear no voice the same
