Votum – Bruises lyrics

"It's in your hands." she told me
I can hear it as if now
"Whenever winds blow arms will hug
And it's warm again."

I started out the run once
And I kept running till I cracked
Burned alive in my own crust
But I'm a boy now and I can cry...

"Home's in your hands." she told me
Hiding bruises on her arms
"Don't be afraid we'll be alright
It's going to change I promise."

"Come it's time to let this go
We will be alright now, well chase away the storm
Come now, it's time to let this go
Yes we're going to be alright now
We'll find our way back home
Back home."

"It's all in your hands"
Oh save it now
D'you think the lesson served me right?
Where's your little boy now?
Right on his way to atone for what he'd done

"Come it's time to let this go
We will be alright now, well chase away the storm
Come now, it's time to let this go
Yes we're going to be alright now
We'll find our way back home
Back home."

Back in my shed make an amend
I'm just like him
The face is grimming —
Cut...
Tear it wide open
The smell of flesh in his room
The festering wound —
Oh boy it's so much better
Guess the lesson served you right...

Never going to let this go
A beautiful lie...
I am never going to let this go...

"Come it's time to let this go
Yes we're going to be alright now
We'll chase away the storm
Come now, it's time to let this go
Yes we're going to be alright
We'll find our way back home."
