lyrics

If I could take this knife
I'd amputate the thoughts straight from my mind
And leave myself down here drooling on the tiles
Dress the wound with wine
Though I can't stand the taste
I feel it's bite is what is keeping me alive

I'm a little bit older now
But as I've grown so has the doubt
Between my flesh and bones
Trying to ooze from underneath

If I could take this knife
Push down until the hilt touches my thigh
Lie in blistering sun and point it towards the sky
This makeshift sundial won't lie about the time
But when I'm tired of facing North
I'll know the will in me has died

I'm a little bit older now
But as I've grown so has the doubt
Between my flesh and bones
Trying to ooze from underneath
Looking over my shoulder now
I'm scared to turn around and see
The demons
But I still feel them touching me

They say your future years are destiny
Working towards something you don't want to be
I never put much faith in prophecy
But it's all come true in front of me

I'm a little bit older now
But as I've grown so has the doubt
Between my flesh and bones
Trying to ooze from underneath
Looking over my shoulder now
I'm scared to turn around and see
The demons
But I still feel them touching me
I still feel them touching me
I still feel them touching me
