The ax that cut the tree
slipped and cut my knee
my eyes welled with tears
when I saw the bleeding
Then the doctor came
and stitched me with a needle
and when I touch the stichin'
there's a great pain I feel
Chorus:
It's not the cut that hurts it's the healin'
this I learned long ago
I try to learn what pains are good and live through them
this I'm learning as I go
The lips that once kissed me
slipped and made me bleed
acid filled my stomach
in the nervousness I cried
Three years have since passed
each one better than the last
but when I read her letters
there's a great pain I feel
Chorus

This record has some of the best drums you'll ever hear. The songs our powerful in depth and dynamic, which is saying a lot just coming from two people. Jakob Lewis
