Inkpot Gods

Oh, what? These, these aren't tears
 It's just the rain that wasn't brave enough to fall
 And what they hear isn't laughter, after all
 It's just your voice learning for once to stand up tall
 And when the rain came down
 I made a vow out to the dark
 "Please, let her live just one more day
 Cause she is so much more than all her scars
 And if she doesn't have the will
 But it seems the whole world does, I'll stay, because
 I will be the man my father never was"

 And what you hear is not silence
 It's just the trees waiting to hear what next you'll hum
 And what you see is not the dark
 It's just the gods upturning ink pots 'cause they know what you'll become
 And to those gods, I will speak bluntly
 "We've an accord, if you ever touch or harm him
 Please, rest assured that you might not fear a man
 But to a woman, by the end, you'll kneel and plea
 'Cause I'm more than what my mum told me to be"
 And I can hear her sing
 And I know she's giving up
 And I don't know what to do, how to help her
 How to bring her home
 And I can hear him break
 And he doesn't understand
 And I wish that I could take his hand
 But where I'm going is for me and me alone
 And I can her sing
 "If I don't make it back from where I've gone
 Just know I loved you all along"
 "If I don't make it back from where I've gone
 Just know I loved you all along"
 "If I don't make it back from where I've gone
 Just know I loved you all along"
 "If I don't make it back from where I've gone
 Just know I loved you all along" (loved you all along)
 If I don't make it back from where I've gone
 Just know I loved you all along
 If I don't make it back from where I've gone
 Just know I loved you all along
 If I don't make it back from where I've gone
 Just know I loved you all along
 If I don't make it back from where I've gone
 Just know I loved you all along
