Inkpot Gods by The Amazing Devil Lyrics
[Verse 1: Joey Batey]
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
[Chorus]
[Both]
And when the rain came down
I made a vow out to the gods
[Joey Batey]
Please let her live just one more day
Cos she is so much more than all her scars
And if she doesn’t have the will
But it seems the world does I’ll stay because
I will be the man my father never was
[Verse 2: Madeleine Hyland]
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 inkpots
Cos they know what you’ll become
[Chorus]
[Both]
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
[Madeleine Hyland]
Cos I’m more than what my mum told me to be
[Bridge: Joey Batey]
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
[Both]
And I can hear him break
And he doesn’t understand
[Madeleine]
And I wish that I could take his hand
But where I’m going is for me and me alone
[Joey Batey]
And I can hear her sing
[Post-Chorus: Both]
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
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
[Chorus]
[Both]
And when the rain came down
I made a vow out to the gods
[Joey Batey]
Please let her live just one more day
Cos she is so much more than all her scars
And if she doesn’t have the will
But it seems the world does I’ll stay because
I will be the man my father never was
[Verse 2: Madeleine Hyland]
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 inkpots
Cos they know what you’ll become
[Chorus]
[Both]
And to those gods I will speak bluntly

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
