Her Voices Lyrics - Pain Of Salvation

Looking at you I see her face 

Through all these years, just waiting 

It all catches up to you when you slow down 

I'm back in that yard, tasting that shame 

Of pushing her down, Of kids and her games 

Their strongholds 

We had a bigger world, we had a better view 

I guess I never fully realized then 

What she lost when I cut that loss 

So she filled the void with unearthly friends 

Voices of hers, greater than us 

We had a bigger world, we had a better view 

I wish she'd never told us about her voices 

We were strong, we were much too strong 

Never forgive, never forget 

We picked and pierced, we ripped and we tore 

We hit and we scratched to make in her a hole 

Glares and eyes, whispers and notes 

Attached to her every pose 

We fed her shouts 

For the collection of her voices 

I was too weak to collect 

But so, it turned out, was she 

Both paid in soul for the cutting of that loss 

Their ugly truth 

Outnumbered by far her beautiful dream 

And I closed my eyes 

Were her eyes in yours already when we met? 

Am I still paying debts to recover Life? 

Now I can see she proved to be right 

As she was called down 

It's sad though 

That I turned out to be one of her voices.
