Lyrics Substitute - Red Cell

Substitute

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
