Song Lyrics

"Chewing the Stitch"

by Oh, Sleeper
Album: Children of Fire

Oh my God, I can feel something moving
The air is still growing thick but it's soothing
I've done nothing to merit forgiving, but if the chance should arise that you hear me
Make my voice be the proof that they need, that light beams from even the tongues unseen

I've never felt so alive
The wind is ushering a change and I can't believe I'm alive
After my attempts to feed the pain
"You are the new sign of proof a calloused heart can still be reached
Stand and believe that it's true
You hold the voice to change the sea"

All the tearing of my skin starts deserting
All the guilt and the shame of the games I played dear to my heart starts to fade
Now I will speak for everyone of us, the rebel dogs who rejected love
Chew the stitches until you taste the blood, or find so much more when you give it up
Give it up
Give it up
Give it up

We are monsters on our own, but banded together we'll overcome
We are monsters on our own, but banded together we'll overcome

Now that I've found you, I've never felt so alive
The wind is ushering a change and I can't believe I'm alive
After my attempts to feed the pain
"You are the new sign of proof a calloused heart can still be reached
Stand and believe that it's true
You hold the voice to change the sea"

Don't expect us to apologize for being true to ourselves in the spotlight
We want no truce, no truce or compromise
