Lyrics
The Knife
I had heroes once
They’ve fallen aside
I knew what I thought was enough
Felt something like pride
And this doesn’t mean I don’t love the things
That I keep around me
But I’m so afraid that I’d disappoint
The boy who was waiting
Sounds like apathy
Closer to eulogy
Stop falling on the knife
You aren’t wasted
Stop falling away
I had heroes once
Every one’s changed
What if it is what it seems – always been this way?
There are those nights when I think of the son
That I never had
I think of the name that I gave up
And what I would take back
Sounds like apathy
Feels like everything
Stop falling on the knife
You aren’t wasted
Stop falling away
Stop falling on the knife
You aren’t wasted
Stop falling away
Stop falling away.
