Drop The Knife

Lyrics

[Intro] (Drop the knife) From every angle (Drop the knife) From every side (Drop the knife) You are surrounded (Drop the knife) You cannot hide [Verse 1] Drop the knife No one has to lose a finger or eye or life There's no such thing as a standoff The conflict's only in your mind But the steely look upon your face Shows me everything I need to see I know you won't succumb easily [Hook 1] Everybody knows we're tied for last Mutual destruction's guaranteed I wish I could let myself believe [Verse 2] Drop the knife Someone has to sweep the floor in the edit suite You think they'll take out the garbage? Or is it Koyaanisqatsi? But the message you embed is lost They invented something else to see I know that I cannot disagree [Hook 2] Legally it is an airtight clause But there's always ambiguity I wish I could let myself drop the knife [Bridge] (Drop the knife) From every angle (Drop the knife) From every side (Drop the knife) You are surrounded (Drop the knife) You cannot hide (Drop the knife) Negotiating (Drop the knife) Is not a choice (Drop the knife) There's no escaping (Drop the knife) The blaring voice [Verse 3] Drop the knife I don't wanna let it go till I see the light I want to slam shut my eyelids I want to mutate in the night But your silhouette upon the screen's The same shadow as my enemy's I know that I cannot cease to see [Hook 3] When untangling the optic nerves There's a knot that couldn't be undone I wish I could tie another one [Verse 4] Drop the knife Modern scholars warn against the lobotomy I want to breathe in the nitrous I want all sensations to cease When the frontal lobe is clearly keen But the hypothalamus is weak I know that I cannot cease to think [Hook 4] Everybody knows I'm in dead last Personal destruction's guaranteed I wish I could lose myself
