The Butcher Lyrics by Seven Day Sonnet

Reprisal

0

[Verse 1]
We stare down and hold the reigns of regret
We seem to hold our hearts outside of our chest
Always right beside doubt
We look like children, deeply ashamed
We're led astray by hot tempered parents
Could it have been the storybook life we read?
We should have been out enjoying the simple life everyday
[Pre-Chorus]
They had to impart their ways
[Chorus]
The butcher keeps his knives all sharp and clean
He ties his hair back off of me
The butcher's hands are strong and feel like clay
He drives his blade down, down
[Verse 2]
We run but could not hide away, saving face
Beaten down we dare not open our mouths again
We'd just rather be silent
Cower here for tonight we'll be quiet
All these feelings burn out like a flame
Embers dying then they blow away
Leaves a sense of blame
[Pre-Chorus]
They had to impart their ways
[Chorus]
The butcher keeps his knives all sharp and clean
He ties his hair back off of me
The butcher's hands are strong and feel like clay
He drives his blade down
All for the better of the day
[Verse 3]
Go back, I should take all of this in a different light
It's sad and it's crude
You must be full of ignorance and doubt
Your mouth spits out lies like water from fountains
Sickening us with your brutal resentment gone away
We cannot just hide anymore
We're not failures, failures, just held back
[Chorus]
The butcher keeps his knives all sharp and clean
He ties his hair back off of me
The butcher's hands are strong and feel like clay
He drives his blade down
All for the better of the day
All for the better of the day
