KNIVES EXCHANGING HANDS LYRICS

1. You Didn't Feel A Thing

2. The Smell Of Florida After It Rains

The eyes, lies
Sun driven to die
Don't let the calm persuade you
Live life for today
Never give up the dream
Overcome the odds built up
Never bow down before a man without his license and registration
Never bow down
Built it up on words too frail to survive
Loss, strife
You're bleeding and broken
Burning and broken and misbegotten
Life has become the problem
The strength of what is real outdoing the fakeness in your smile
(I) never asked for a hand I didn't need
Never needing to be pulled up by anyone but me
This was our common ground
Our shadows ran like children
Now as I burn it down, I won't forget the words you said
This is the heart
Letting go of the disposition of now
Just let them go
You can't save everyone
Just let them go
You can't save anyone

3. Put On Your Dancing Shoes

Lately I've been reading the past life of a dead man. Differs ever slightly than what I'm used to. Everything was taken. Still I will not break in two. Without friends, without love, I've suffered all in all. Now is the time to discover something more. I will stand strong reborn in the flames. Lying in bed shivering from the withdrawal of your kiss. Your faded memories. Imprints on my psyche. The me I used to be. I will not revert my will. (I) will not be challenged. This is not time. You've tried your best. I stand unaffected. Though you bleed me, I will not cry. My life. My death. My blood. My victory.

4. As The Star Dies...

As I lay awake on these sheets of crimson
I am reminded of an oath made to me
That there would never be a day
When I would feel unwanted by your eyes or by your heart
The past comes to fruition, and now we both see ourselves
Without the hindrance of a past time
Wounds like these seem to open, once inhabited cocoons
And like the pain, it is born into my soul
We've lost our way now that your light has faded
Day by day, into the night sky
How could we have become so wrong?
How could you truly know what's in my heart
All that was good in me has died in your arms tonight
How could I sit back and watch all the poison in the world collapse in your heart?
Your light now haunts the absence of a true-felt heart
Your light as died out in this darkness
These dark skies prove more for me
How do I turn my heart and walk away?
How could openness bring so much lies?
So fucking much deceit
My way home lost for ever under my starless skies

5. Factor X Divided By Numerical Code

You cannot divide the point where my two lines intersect
On this, our eyes
Our own demise
We see
We watch the skyline aflame
We have no one to blame
Have we become a society of numbers?
What was made of love?
What have we become?
Leave it to us
We are our own worst enemies
We have destroyed ourselves for these old ideals
Why have we segregated?
Live and die by the sword
My soul won't be scarred
Mu unity will survive
The skies turn black with our demise
We look to ourselves and what we are
View your own death
You are nothing
I won't be nothing
You will die as nothing

6. Can Scarred Legs Keep Their Cantor?

7. The D.O.E. Are Stone Cold Killes

8. Give 'em A Little Bit Of The Shillelagh

9. The Height Of Narcissism

Never portray those images as flawless
Utterance of your posture welts thousands
And in this time you should ponder your penance
Ask what gives you your royal duty
Preach prosthetic astronomy
Eleven planets and counting
The top of the food chain, yet the bottom of the gene pool
Never call yourself my savior
With the eyes wide
Your heartless ways
Catch up to you
Your heartless ways

10. Save The Cheerleader, Save The World

These frames come to life as familiar as the blood curdling in the back of your throat. You're on your own. And this contempt for the plight of mankind, utterly worthless. I'll feel better once this is over. That last shot was a keeper. Make sure the markers stay in their place. And while I hide behind these walls, I'm safe. Two bags full to alleviate. One's grief resized to fit on the front of a card. Hallmark will have a season for it soon enough. You're all the same to me, and I wish I cared. This is the last time I will feel your heart fading and near. Remember the words I inscribed on your chest. My final words to you. And with your last dying beat, utter them. All these wings torn from the radiant wounds of your. Radiant. She's sleeping in the woods alone tonight

11. I Aim To Misbehave

Your name will be the crumbling on the heads of millions
An Achilles heal you’ve made yourself
Your star falls faster from the sky
People see your for what you really are
You’ve turned your friends into cash
Just like that
I’ll bet you think your autograph cures cancer
I’ll bet you think your autograph cures
Your diagnosis is that your selfishness fails you
(It) shows other around you the truer side of truth
With all of your lying and the hate that you’re hiding, I you’ve learned
I still remember that day in December, the day the bridge burned
Your Helen will not return
So play out your days as what you’ve become on your stage

12. The Monuments They Build For You Will Be Mountains

Your face smiling down on us from above. We miss you so much. We'll always remember. Remnants of what you were will remain true to the image we hold of you in our hearts. Your words engraved on hearts. We will never forget your eyes. I hope, one day, to possess the love you gave. To one day be like you; possess your patience and virtue. Your kindness forever engraved on my heart. We'll see you again one day. Until then we'll miss you for always.
