Knives

about

Some songs need no explanation. This is one of those songs.

lyrics

When the curtain breaks and everyone cheers
Don't blink or you might suddenly become alone
No one wants to see your disease
Nor strip you down to blood and skin and bone

I always tried to say you wanted someone else
And I was always on the other side
When you lied to yourself tried to be that one
I knew what it meant to finally become alive

So here I am alone again
Waiting for the night to end
And it's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives
What it feels to be alive
It's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives
What it feels to be alive
It's alright, it's alright

I wanted to be doused in love
My feet were never made to fit right
You can always go back to just being yourself
But love is never in the company of the blind
Hate is just a strong word for loving on someone
That's what you've got to convince your mind
Baby wake up the blood is all your own
You realise your love is becoming a bit unkind

So here I am alone again
Waiting for the night to end
And it's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives
What it feels to be alive
It's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives
What it feels to be alive
It's alright, it's alright

So here I am alone again
Waiting for the night to end
And it's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives
What it feels to be alive
It's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives
What it feels to be alive
It's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives, it's knives
What it feels to be alive
It's knives, it's alright, it's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright, it's gonna be alright
