Knives Gleam 04:34
When I woke I washed the blood from out of my mouth I could taste the salt of Youth inside my lungs And I've got more love than You've got maps made of your veins We've gone so far but you said No The gleam of knives Through jealous wires I crept inside I made my way through all the cracks in your skin I made your tin heart sweat blood again We count from five and jump right off that window ledge We've come so far but you said No I fell into the blackest light (I could feel it fold me) I was built brand new We could all be saints tonight If we see this through So this is what you want? ...this is what you wanted? Angel descend Our eyes are all searchlights We laid still While God slept What's worse? Poison or the Truth? We stand far from what we are We Know we're lost in the snow Our tongues have froze to these lampposts Who will here these words like we intended? Who will hear this verse if we meant it now?

My veins froze And frost covered the vine Reaching for the Sun Reaching for the Light When will I learn to let it all shine in? Don't answer the phone it's a ghost! Death lusts after me They take pictures of us through the tv screen They creep and they crawl into our dreams Everything that I once believed Seems obscene to me My blood My cells My own body I am Light I make Sound I live in the widths of your breath I change myself with all the kisses I saved up to fend off the smokestacks that follow us every scar, every paper cut The grey sky has never seemed so clear (all my friends line the boulevard) Every leaf on the tree is a mirror (oh my heart) We will win this war we've started We will find a cure We're starving
