lyrics

I was a lover in a time gone by
You were a lover there too
Together we faltered on the blade of a knife
Looking to lay down our roots

I was a brother 'til I lost my way
Sometimes the name is enough
We bury the hatchet but at the end of the day
Our fists are still covered in blood

Suddenly I find I lay awake when I don't mean to
And if you call on me I'll lead you
I'd like to think that there's a place beyond what all we've been through
But if you lie to me I'll leave you

I was a stranger on a dangerous night
A sliver of light's all I see
I keep my balance on the edge of a knife
God what has happened to me?

Suddenly I find I stay awake when I don't need to
And if you call on me I'll lead you
I used to think that there's a reason for what all we've been through
But when you lie to me I'll leave you
