Great Lake Swimmers The Knife Lyrics

Point's so sharp that it cannot feel Has two sides. Which one's real? Get thrown over and pulled from the school Break a hand, hands of fools Should've known better in daylight's burn Restless depths, of darking yearns Hushing words from a silver tongue The restless winds to willing ears

Should have known, living in a storm You'd act like thunder and shift your form

The knife you, the knife on Cut me free, let me go The knife you, the knife on Cut me deep, send me home

Fighter flash over fever escape Underwater dream took the bait Could have been the one that slipped from the hook But you pull in slow, ever so slow Left on the island with nowhere to go Half my mind, burning snow Burnouts rarely make good flames But don't bother playing if you don't know the game

Should have known, living in a storm You'd act like thunder and shift your form
The knife you, the knife on Cut me free, let me go The knife you, the knife on Cut me deep, send me home

Silver words compete with the heat Hardly believe you can stand on your feet Spent all the time twisting our nuts When the smoke clears, you clearly forgot I'm not made of metal and not made of wood Destined, it seems, to be misunderstood Cut through me neatly with your fine blade Flit so fast, a mess was made

Should have known, living in a storm You'd act like thunder and shift your form

The knife you, the knife on Cut me free, let me go The knife you, the knife on Cut me deep, send me home

The knife you, the knife on Cut me free, let me go The knife you, the knife on Cut me deep, send me home
