Lyrics
[Intro]
[inhale]
WHAT DO THE RATS KNOW!?
[drop]
[Verse]
The rats gather out of sight
They know the sighs of the wind and the rain
Their eyes glimmer in the night
They know the doubts of the fear and the pain
My eyes bleed with every silence,
A symptom when the words won't come
So my eyes bleed, a silent scream
Tell me, when will the bleeding be done?
[Pre-chorus]
ears cannot hear a language born
in the depths of fear a name forlorn
[drum fill]
[Chorus]
Oh! The sky above
the colors I see
not of this world
(not of this world)
Oh! The stars and moon
the stories they tell
not to be heard
(not to be heard)
[Intro]
[inhale]
WHY DO MY EYES BLEED?!
[Verse]
I see the trees swaying in the breeze,
The secrets they keep only the trees know
The flowers bloom in vibrant hues
Their petals so sweet only the blooms grow
The rats congregate in tongues
In languages I can’t divine they speak
The glass woven like silken thread
The creatures it deeply binds they seek
[Pre-chorus]
ears cannot hear a language born
in the depths of fear a name forlorn
[drum fill]
[Chorus]
WHY DO MY EYES BLEED?!
[Verse]
I see the trees swaying in the breeze,
The secrets they keep only the trees know
The flowers bloom in vibrant hues
Their petals so sweet only the blooms grow
The rats congregate in tongues
In languages I can’t divine they speak
The glass woven like silken thread
The creatures it deeply binds they seek
[Pre-chorus]
ears cannot hear a language born
in the depths of fear a name forlorn
[drum fill]
[Chorus]
Oh! The sky above
the colors I see
not of this world
(not of this world)
Oh! The stars and moon
the stories they tell
not to be heard
(not to be heard)
[Break]
[Bridge]
Questions that haunts me
the pressure builds inside the screams
My thoughts unspoken
A dam unfilled remains unbroken
[Guitar solo]
[drum fill]
[Chorus]
Oh! The sky above
the colors I see
not of this world
(not of this world)
Oh! The stars and moon
the stories they tell
not to be heard
(not to be heard)
[Bridge, acoustic]
Questions that haunt me
the pressure builds inside the screams
My thoughts unspoken
A dam unfilled remains unbroken
[Breakdown]
(scatting)
[drop]
[Chorus]
Oh! The sky above
the colors I see
not of this world
(not of this world)
Oh! The stars and moon
the stories they tell
not to be heard
(not to be heard)
[Outro]
WHAT DO THE RATS KNOW?
[End]
(not to be heard)
[Outro, acoustic]
WHAT DO THE RATS KNOW?
[End]
