lyrics

If only I’d known what lay beneath
The curtains not drawn, the knife in sheath

A bond yet to be scorned by reveal, by deceit
A new era born, a turned meat

Well I put in time but the clock switched face
The guards in my mind were unarmed like prey
And I’ll cut these ties with my teeth until they bleed to get rid of you

Sever the ties

If only I’d seen into the quagmire
The water dragged, the ragged liar
The seeds that were sewn they grow and mutate baring a fruit so sour to the taste

Well I put in time but the clock switched face
The guards in my mind were unarmed like prey
I’ll cut these ties with my teeth till they bleed
To get rid of you
