What Do the Rats Know?

[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]
