My Life In The Knife Trade Lyrics

My Life In The Knife Trade lyrics

how many times
have you noticed that our eyes
hardly ever meet
from
your judgment seat
i feel the anger for my very being
fill me in
on
when you became such a big part of my life
that i should bother
with all
your lies designed to bring me down
wrong again
don't depend
on any
reaction again

i remember the icy walls
that shot up from
nowhere
and i can see every lie that you've ever told yourself
you bleed
me dry and i don't ask why
but i'm left with the dust
Judas kiss i
dismiss
thank you all for this
i am untouched
wait again
i'm not
through with the screaming
i contend
that you've got nothing better to
do

trade my life for a barrel of gold
find someone else before i get
too old
if i live my life for aesthetic gain
will you repay me with all
your shame

i can see every light inside your brain
go on every time
that i walk by
for nods and whispers
your comfort in my suffering
is
no longer disturbing
i'm lost beyond your petty stopwatch
in life's real
time
wait again
i'm not through with the screaming
i contend
that
you've got nothing better to do

trade my life for a barrel of
gold
find someone else before i get too old
if i live my life for
aesthetic gain
will you repay me with all your shame

don't get
up
i was slowly leaving the room
and when the door
of your
judgment
swings back around again
maybe i'll stop to watch
and i'll go
on my way
i've seen quite enough
of too many childish games
i'm ashamed
of every moment
that i ever gave them the time of day
all the worst of
enemies
are somehow always
friends that used to be
