Roche Limit

Lyrics

Grey words form,
Concrete and heavy as they burn.
Crashing to earth like an angel,
Tattered and shapeless and torn.
And I've felt the sting of words like these
Stripped the bark, collected leaves,
The bite the blood on hands and knees.
And I've dealt the pain, said words like these,
Ripped apart, created tears, the whole regret that no one hears.
And everybody's been hurt,
By somebody elses words.
Shields once forged,
Protecting the heart from the sounds.
Numbing the mind with a needle,
Silently gagged and bound.
And I've felt the sting of words like these
Stripped the bark, collected leaves,
The bite the blood on hands and knees.
And I've dealt the pain, said words like these,
Ripped apart, created tears, the whole regret that no one hears.
And everybody's been hurt
By somebody elses words.
A tigers tongue in the head of a lamb,
Sculpting and slicing the clay that I am.
Everyone's been hurt by somebody's words.
