The Twist of a Friendly Knife

Took the trip to the cigar box Shaking off the peace of mind Comfort in the shame inhaled The only bliss in a sordid tale Checking in so my mind checks out Flip the switch and the flame bursts now I'm feeling safe, let the truth be told But the danger waits in a burning roll Check in... Breathe deep... To the cigar box hotel Check in... Breathe deep... You can't get out But you never want to leave The puff of smoke floats your pains away Put fears off til the final days When panic sets you don't have to fear You might move on but you're always here Check in... Breathe deep... To the cigar box hotel Check in... Breathe deep... You can't get out But you never want to leave Take comfort in the place you come from Take pleasure in the pleasures of home. Be present for the calming sensation Forget your hope Give it all to temptation Check in... Breathe deep... To the cigar box hotel Check in... Breathe deep... You can't get out But you never want to leave But you never want to leave... But you never want to leave... But you never want to leave...

She rips the note from her lover As it blows away in the wind She hides her tears from the world While she tries to begin again And he's given all he can Shared all of the love that he knows His roar dies to a whisper And is lost beneath the snow You never gave me peace Before the darkest hour You never held my hand Instead you took my power The love that's in my heart Spills now from deep inside You see it on my cheeks But you'll never see me cry for you anymore... His feelings deep inside A victim of his silence The quiet set the stage For all the love now dying Her ghost it haunts him still In the darkest moon of midnight Her candle now burned out And patience melted to the ground You never sang the words Into the darkest hour You never took my hand And shared with me your power The love that's in my heart Now buried in the broken You see it on my cheeks But you'll never see me cry for you anymore... My heart it burns for you My arms they long for you My fear to live without you My whole world caving into itself You never gave me peace Before the darkest hour You never held my hand Instead you took my power The love that's in my heart Spills now from deep inside You see it on my cheeks But you'll never see me cry for you anymore... My heart it burns for you My arms they long for you My fear to live without you My whole world caving in on itself

I can barely see The telephone But I know that I Can't be home alone I know you don't want to see me But still you contemplate the being The old familiar disappearing Til there's something sinking in the feeling Old and familiar satisfaction Notice all of your quickly faded reactions We don't know why we're still here We forget about all the years In a moment... This moment is sickeningly perfect You might call it desperation Found between the degradations You might call it punishment But we both know where each other's been I can barely see Past my tears to the screen But I know that I Have to feel your warm hands again I know you don't want to feel me But still you truly know the real me The craziness in its perfectness Just giving myself away Old and familiar satisfaction Notice all of your quickly faded reactions We don't know why we're still here We forget about all the fear In a moment... This moment is sickeningly perfect

You’re not as smart as you think you are… Your nature pushes you to something But action without thought really seems to be nothing And all you’ll have in the end is you… Do you remember who you once were? I’d tell you if I ever knew… There’s too much in your words to be nothing I see the victim in your eyes Your rage is just excuses for all that you’ve become You’ve become the thing you once despised… Do you remember who you once were? Would you tell me if you knew? The knives that hide behind your sharp eyes Are just the evil that you do… I remember you I remember you I remember you...

Now the pigs are on the loose And I can see them run Like it's a million miles away But it's still so close Hey pigs Do you know Who came and let you win? Hey pigs Do you know Just how this pageant begins Or how it will end? It's all fun and games until you fall It's all fun and games until you fall It's all fun and games until you fall It's all fun and games until you fall Now the pigs are in their pen And it's all a mess As close as it could ever be But yet I can hear them far away Hey pigs Do you know Who came and pushed you off this hill? Hey pigs Do you know Just when it stopped being funny And you can't get up again It's all fun and games until you fall It's all fun and games until you fall It's all fun and games until you fall It's all fun and games until you fall

Bleed yourself to sleep Your head is swimming in stars It's beautiful if not for the sickening spiral I fly when I'm still on the ground Dream inside the ground But you still can't dig your way out I'm terrified when I'm in your sickening spiral I'm crawling through the ground I barely breathe I hardly see The sweat now blends with tears The darkness as deep as an ocean We claw against the dirt With you I find my agony Despair is all that grows It's dreadful in its omnipresence My feet stuck in the air In you I kill my dream A twist of your friendly knife I calculate the angles to end it all The sharp it turns to soft I barely breathe I hardly see The sweat now blends with tears The darkness as deep as an ocean We claw against the dirt Your knife is sharp and your heart is soft Your knife is sharp and your heart is soft Your knife is sharp and your heart is soft Your knife is sharp and your heart is soft
