Twist the Knife

Start with a seed and a dream
A smile’s a sunbeam
And so quickly it was all green
Couldn’t believe what we could be
Couldn’t feel the vines growing too heavy
So crushingly disappointing

We’ve felt handshakes and heartbreaks
I’ve given but I want to take
Submerge myself into the lake
And hope this breath isn’t the last we take
Getting here was like pulling water from a well that was dry
At least I tried
Thought there would be more stories to tell

Driven by thirst
Mad with hurt
Water flowing from our wounds
The floods threaten all that we grew
Fill up a clean glass
With trembling hands
Pour and drink and sit and sink
I’ve got so much to lose if I do it again

We’ve felt handshakes and heartbreaks
I’ve given but I want to take
Submerge myself into the lake
And hope this breath isn’t the last we take

Can’t take anymore so I’m cutting the cord
Twist the knife so deep
Pray I didn’t make us bleed
Don’t make me fight
Don’t make me fight or fly
I’ll fly

We were running for it
Couldn’t see you at all
But I felt you in the forest
We were running for it
Couldn’t see you at all
Called out to you and heard you respond

Can’t take anymore so I’m cutting the cord
Twist the knife so deep
