Pocket Knife
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I've been waiting for so long
For someone just like me
Stuck between right and wrong
This fucked up fantasy
I've got nothing but blood to let the wrong one in
Lost in the garden of lust, this unoriginal sin
She came after me with a pocket knife
Stuck here in a dream
Nightmare of my life
Nothing left to do
Just sit there and scream
Wake up next to you and try to go back to sleep
Try to go back to sleep
I've been waiting for so long
For someone just like you
Tell me your favorite song
I'll sing a different tune
I've got nothing but blood upon these hands of mine
Left you out in the sun, you hung me out to dry
She came after me with a pocket knife
Stuck here in a dream
Nightmare of my life
Nothing left to do
Just sit there and scream
Wake up next to you and try to go back to sleep
(Woah ho oh)
Baby you've got some nerve
(Woah ho oh)
Cold revenge has been served
(Woah ho oh)
And I'm freezing alone
(Woah ho oh)
For reasons unknown
She came after me with a pocket knife
Stuck here in a dream
Nightmare of my life
Nothing left to do
Just sit there and scream
Wake up next to you and try to go back to sleep
And try to go back to sleep
And try to go back to sleep
