࿐ LYRICS

I see your face
I just want to cut
Make it bleed

But I know I’d be the one to die
I’m lowering my knife
Walk away
I’m packing up my things
Go away

I’d like to be the one who stays
But not if that means that I will decay
That’s over

Ask me to fight
Push the rock and wait
for those better times

But I cannot give you all
I need to save some strength
so that I can still walk away

I stand no chance in this fight
when the handle’s as sharp as the knife
I’ve tried to hold on
but these hands are too small
for all that you’re bringing in
I’ll have to begin dropping some of you
as I go

I see your face
I just want to cut
make it bleed

but I know I’d be the one to die
I’m lowering my knife
walk away
