Hollow Knives

from LIFE as LOVE as ART by Wailing Whales

lyrics

In a flash of light my eyes went blind
But I finally saw the truth
The lies that dangled from my skull
Like a bloody baby-tooth
When you've tried so hard, but get nowhere
All praise is an attack
When it lands on those you struggle with
Those who should have your back

When I was young I was told
That I could be anything
That list should have narrowed down
I can barely strain to sing
But I'll never give up as long as I have breath
It's a bloody war, from love to death
Take my hand, it'll be ok (at least we'll make it through another day)

Cause I can sing; I can sing a song
If you want you can sing along
And if we sing in harmony
Then our souls will be set free

To fully create you have to sacrifice
But how many can pay that price?
When you kill yourself just to stay alive
Don't stray from virtue (it comes with strife)
It's a hollow knife that cuts inside
Reveals all you have to hide
Bleed it out into the world
Let your true self be unfurled

Cause you can sing; you can sing a song
Rest assured, I'll sing along
And if we sing in harmony
Then our souls will be set free

Cause we can sing; we can sing a song
And everyone will sing along
And if we sing in harmony
Then our souls will be set free
