your surgeon is human, too - machinery of the human heart lyrics

i wish i’d seen the war behind your eyes
you would think it’s something i would recognize
seen the silent armies, heard their battle cries
watched the angels lifting bodies to the skies
i’ll have you know that once they nearly carried mine
but what else could i do?

and then i watched your armor slowly fall apart
disassembled by a breaking human heart
so many times you’ve tried to rip it from your chest
thinking carving out your love was for the best
i’ll have you know i’ll never love you any less
for what we’ll never be
and nowadays
i’m just a surgeon fixing other people’s lives
but i still see the blood and canonfire skies
and i pretend the bodies that i’m fixing are my own
that’s why the lacerated skin’s so neatly sewn
oh, i could use a little mending of my own
but in this sterile room i’m never truly home

so we must find a greater surgeon on this earth
one who understands our hearts and what they’re worth
not just flashbacks to a vivid living h*ll
and not just chunks of metal sitting on a shelf
and all along your stillness was a cry for help
but how was i to know?
and how were you to know?

- machinery of the human heart lyrics
