Substitute Lyrics

I can't raise my voice
Until I understand
What is under the bottom
What's in your hand
And my conscious sleep
Is awakened away
I am conscious, sleeping
Here to stay

I can taste my tear
It's a shallow drop
What is under the bottom
It's over the top
And my conscious fear
Will never learn
I am conscious, bleeding
Will always yearn

I live my life
On the sharpest knife
And the day I fall
I will land my strife
I will always yearn for a future
And in the day it comes
It will be my land

I can't raise my head
It's so hard to feed
And this isolation
What do I need
I'm awakened and
I am here to stay
Feel a serpent tongue
Woke up, on my skin
Like a broken tone
That glows within
I will never learn
I will always yearn

I live my life
On the sharpest knife
And the day I fall
I will land my strife
I will always yearn for a future
And in the day it comes
It will be my land
