Omar Rodríguez-López
Voice in My Knives

[Verse 1]
When the heart you shouldn't lose becomes estranged
Oh, yeah, who'll fix the pain?
When the lineage of trauma just won't break
Let it rain

[Pre-Chorus 1]
Listen to the call, it's gon' rain
So let it rain
That voice in the knives
Shielded by night

[Chorus 1]
When the options, they have crumbled
When the absolutes refuse to let you go
What festers in your heart, they lost you as a child
And you never wanted thеm to look away (Just look away)
Now the time has come, I fеar that it's too late

[Verse 2]
And the penance for sedition blinds the flock
Yes, it does
But the branded nervous system still remains
They all know

[Pre-Chorus 2]
That voice in my knives, shielded by night
And the coffins that you filled will never rest
Let it rain
[Chorus 2]
From the remnants of a name only you'd remember
Don't say it 'cause it happens every time
What festers in your heart when they lost you as a child
And you never wanted them to look away (Just look away)
Now the time has come for us to look away

[Outro]
Oh-oh
