Great Lake Swimmers - The Knife lyrics
rate mePoints so sharp that it cannot feelHas two sides. Which one's real?Net thrown over and pulled from the schoolWake up in the hands of foolsShould've known better in daylight's burnRestless depths, of darking yearnsHushing words from a silver tongueThe restless winds to willing earsShould have known, living in a stormYou'd act like thunder and shift your formThe knife you, the knife ohCut me free, let me goThe knife you, the knife ohCut me deep, send me homeFighter flash over fever escapeUnderwater dreamer took the baitCould have been the one that slipped from the hookBut you pull me slowly, ever so slowLeft on the island with nowhere to goHalf my mind, burning snowBurnouts rarely make good flamesBut don't bother playing if you don't know the gameShould have known, living in a stormYou'd act like thunder and shift your formThe knife you, the knife ohCut me free, let me goThe knife you, the knife ohCut me deep, send me homeSilver words compete with the heatI hardly believe you can stand on your feetSpent all the time twisting our nutsWhen the smoke clears, you clearly forgotI'm not made of metal and I'm not made of woodDestined, it seems, to be misunderstoodCut through me neatly with your fine bladeFlit so fast, a mess was madeShould have known, living in a stormYou'd act like thunder and shift your formThe knife you, the knife ohCut me free, let me goThe knife you, the knife ohCut me deep, send me homeThe knife you, the knife ohCut me free, let me goThe knife you, the knife ohCut me deep, send me home
