Knuckle Down

Lyrics

[Verse 1] All my branches break When you go and tell me Your body can't take The nights of being lonely I'm racing through the dark A headless Saint Bernard To cauterize the scars That line your dirty heart [Verse 2] What the hell can I do When you whisper, "punish me"? Snap me like a tiger trap I lost all my honey I'm bracing for the shiver String me in your quiver Aim me for the skyline But shoot me in the river [Verse 3] And terror quits me When you palpitate Confess directly Sadness spreads your legs I contemplate the toll Turning diamonds into coal Traveling down this hole Throwing conscience to the wind [Chorus] That spins, it's not a path that I ever thought I would traffic to get you back Our panic will burst like birds full of aspirin We're not to blame It's the same as it was never before, so [Verse 4] I'm not a scoundrel It's just the suit that fits me Cut tight and breathes nice Maintains insanity Never thought I'd be like a hunger with no appetite A hunter with no urge for thrills The type of man I despise [Verse 5] So I ask the devil How to learn to handle Woman with a shovel Digging downward spirals He tells me what to do And how to strut my cool And polish up my boots With all your lovers blood [Chorus] It's just, it's not a road that I ever thought I would traffic to get you back Our panic will burst like birds full of aspirin We're not to blame It's the same as it was never before, so [Verse 6] And I roam the trenches Bayonet's just what I need Hate you more than anything 'cause You're everything to me, so You met your match, don't even know it yet Challenge? This ain't challenge When evil's got your edge [Chorus] This time, it's not a road that I ever thought I would traffic to get you back Our panic will burst like birds full of aspirin We are to blame It's the same is it was never before, so-
