A Wound is a Place to Let the Light In Songtext
von Subsignal

Hold on to my hand, then close your eyes
Cause they have already seen too much
Now our home is an echo
As we steer through the night
Will you wake me if i fall asleep at the helm

And we can′t go back to this darkness
Back to trauma, to violence and pain
To the shells that have shattered our souls
There's an ocean we must pass
A wound is a place to let light in
Or at least that′s what we dream
Oh, but this is the hurt that won't wash away


Oh, hate drove us away, no love awaits
As we sit in the gloom and the sand
Oh, don't know what is coming
Now don′t you look back
With the spray on our face
Salt that burns within our head

And we can′t sail back to this blackness
There is nothing that will stop the rain
We are flowers that tremble in coldness
There's a mountain still to cross
A wound is a place to let light in
Or at least that′s what they say
Oh, but this is the pain that won't wash away

And we can′t go back to this darkness
Back to hunger, to violence and pain
To the shells that have scattered our feelings
There's a border still to cross
A wound is a place to let pain int
Here are cracks in all these things
Oh, and some of those stains will not wash away
