Lyrics
The Knife Is Not a 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.
Somebody bring me a butcher's knife
The kind you find on a breastplate
The real significance of heraldry
Small distinctions between corpses
Make a lover of the scum
Sink completely down the drain
Somebody redefine my boundaries
I seem to think I can excite myself
It always starts inside my stomach
It always ends when I am painless
Make a lover of the scum
Sink completely down the drain
Foreign bodies
Salted sentries
Foreign bodies
Salted sentries
(Foreign bodies)
