​cohen_noise - knifeplay lyrics

Loading...

i watched my reflection douse the burning bush
rather than try to chew through my leash
it seemed like sedative hypnotics and complacency would hurt the least
and i’d keep my exit in its sheath

you cut me deep, again and again
and i just smiled, and sewed myself another mend
false assurance to myself if i hadn’t broken before
i’d withstand a little bend

because to me, seeing is believing
and i was so absorbed in their appeasing

because to mе, seeing is believing
and i was so absorbed in thеir appeasing
the burdens of the ones i claimed to love
because to me, seeing is believing
and i was so absorbed in their appeasing
became the ones i failed to see

i blinded myself arbitrarily
for your contrived divinity
to keep from asking
if i was bleeding from the affinity

i lost my life to the holy knife
but didn’t feel its blade
til it was dull and trite
because to me, seeing is believing
and i was so absorbed
because to me, seeing is believing
and i was so absorbed in their appeasing
the burdens of the ones

“better late than never” doesn’t cut it
when the fray is severed
but your loved ones died
while you were too occupied by your self+serving endeavors

i lost my life to the holy knife
but didn’t feel its blade
til it was dull and trite
