The Knife Lyrics

My running winds, they ran you down

And now I'm back locked in the clink

Tears run marathons right down my kitchen sink

And now I'm friends

Friends with the jailor

He says 'My dear, you're so unaware

You stopped trying, you gave up the chase

You put yourself right here in the first place, he says

Take what you can

Put it all in the bag

In a place like this, you can't play nice

You're gonna need a sharper knife

You're gonna need a sharper knife

The village burned, burned down too quick

My house still attached to it

The ashes in the street, and my basement trophies

If a villain's what you need

A villain's what you need

You take what you can

Put it all in the bag

In a place like this, you can't play nice

You're gonna need a sharper knife

You're gonna need a sharper knife

I had to survive

With a broken goodbye

I'm the one with the knife

And I ran for my life, running for my life

I had to survive

With a broken goodbye

I'm the one with the knife

And I ran for my life, running for my life, running oh

Take what you can

Put it all in the bag

With a place like this, you can't play nice

You're gonna need a sharper knife

You're gonna need

You're gonna need
