lyrics

His mother always told him
To keep a cross held in his hand
She told him loving was like bleeding
He didn’t understand

That for him to tell his story
Hers needed to be told
All those silent nights of blinking tears back
Regretting how she’s grown

There should be nothing that rewards those
Who choose to sit and lie
But there’s something in the way he blinks
That makes her want to cry

‘Cause nothing can fix his illness
He lives to serve and then concave
He’s been told screaming won’t cure him
But he tries anyways

He remembers his father throwing
Pictures of his mother in the fire
And him saying let’s hope you never love
A cheater or a liar

And his father said his hand must be lucky
‘Cause he picked one who’s both
And the only thing that seems to console him
Is a burning in his throat

We are all stitched together
By the paths that we create
But this boy seems to be stitched up
In such an unfamiliar way

His parents say he’s human
But I’ve seen him, he doesn’t bleed
A lack of love has left him empty
Ripped out at the seams

His mother always told him
To keep his heart held in his hand
She told him, love someone
But don’t bleed them dry
He didn’t understand

That because she told his story
He’s been trapped and now he’s free
All those silent nights are gone with silent screams
All those silent nights are gone with silent screams
All those silent nights of holding back
Are gone with silent screams
